Introducing a checked flannel shirt from the Fall/Winter 2025 collection of Jeans Center Sakai's original brand, "Eight G," crafted from crisp 100% cotton heavy flannel.
While flannel shirts are a timeless classic, they remain beloved as a timeless staple of American casual wear even today. Their timelessness and versatility make them a great focal point for any outfit, and they also add a pop of color to your winter ensemble.
Eight G teams up with trusted domestic factories, ensuring that each shirt is meticulously sewn by skilled craftsmen. Their robust construction is also highly acclaimed, and the shirts become more and more durable with wear.
■ A sophisticated madras check that's understated yet memorable
While there are many different types of check patterns, this model features the classic American casual madras check.
While the unique look created by the multi-color combination is appealing, many people find some color combinations too flashy and difficult to pull off. However, this shirt's subtle contrast in color scheme achieves both a casual and elegant feel, bringing a sophisticated touch to any flannel shirt outfit.
The fabric is made from 100% cotton heavy twill, characterized by its rough texture.
Woven with thick No. 6 thread, heavy flannel has the comfort you expect from workwear, and with repeated wearing and washing, it will develop a stylish patina over time.
It's durable and resistant to shape deformation, so it can be washed and cared for without worry.
■Recreates the details of vintage shirts
This shirt is subtly sprinkled with the attention to detail that workwear enthusiasts crave, allowing you to enjoy the unique character of a work shirt with its roots in workwear.
The left chest pocket is equipped with a pen holder, allowing you to access a pen without opening or closing the flap.
The fabric for the pockets is cut at a bias angle relative to the body, adding an accent to the design.
The buttons on the front and sleeves are made with urea buttons, a material long used on work shirts and military clothing.
Urea buttons are resistant to heat and impact, and because they are dyed at the raw material stage rather than painted, they are less prone to scratches, making them a material typically associated with workwear.
Triangular gussets have been added to both hems to strengthen the stitching between the front and back of the body.
Threads protruding from the sides of the gussets are called "karakan" (empty loops), a detail found on work shirts from the old days, when sewing without backstitching increased productivity.
This product utilizes modern sewing techniques to achieve strength, while also intentionally recreating a tasteful design. Therefore, the empty loops (thread) left on both sides of the hem can be cut without affecting strength, allowing you to create the look you prefer.
■Japan's World-Renowned Sewing Expertise
To ensure years of enjoyable wear, key areas, including the shoulders, which are prone to stress, are sewn with a durable twin-needle overlock stitch.
Since fabrics are sewn together, this requires a high level of skill, especially when sewing with a sturdy material like heavy flannel. However, even curved areas with overlapping fabric, such as the shoulders, sides, and armholes, are beautifully finished with an overlock stitch.
■An Exquisite Silhouette Tailored to the Japanese Body Type
The pattern is hand-drawn with the body line in mind, resulting in a silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose, creating a flattering balance.
While exuding the vibe of a rustic work shirt, the sizing is tailored to fit modern fashion, making this a popular choice for a wide range of generations and styles.
