COCOON KIMONO SLEEVE SHIRT Stand Collar — Sea Island Cotton
Description
Traditionally, shirts are designed to follow the body's contours. The TKA Cocoon Kimono Sleeve Shirt reimagines this concept entirely. Inspired by the voluminous cocoon coats of French haute couture's golden era, this shirt creates breathing space between fabric and body rather than emphasizing silhouette.
The kimono sleeve construction—cut as a single piece without separation between sleeve and body—combines with couture-informed three-dimensional patterning to generate a quiet, sculptural presence. The shirt's form completes itself through movement, never clinging or constraining.
Crafted from 100% Sea Island cotton—one of the world's rarest fibers, representing just 0.004% of global cotton production.
Sourced from the West Indies, this ultra-fine fiber delivers an incomparably soft, silk-like touch with zero irritation against the skin. The fabric features exceptional fiber length of 40–50mm, creating a smooth, lustrous surface that reflects light beautifully.
Woven at 120-count double yarn for optimal weight and structure, this Sea Island cotton achieves the rare balance of luxurious drape with practical ease of care—wrinkles release effortlessly, and pressing becomes genuinely manageable.
Produced by David & John Anderson (DJA), the pinnacle brand within the Albini Group, Italy's most prestigious luxury shirting manufacturer.
