FOB FACTORY A brand inspired by vintage workwear, military, and jeans, FOB FACTORY is based in Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama, one of Japan’s leading production hubs. The brand continues to uphold the founder’s vision, creating garments that customers will be glad to own even three years after their purchase. Light and Soft Sashiko Fabric The plain fabric is made from a moderate-weight sashiko fabric dyed with indigo. Unlike the traditional heavy, stiff sashiko fabrics, this one is lightweight, soft, and perfect for wearing in spring and summer. The warp threads are dyed black, which over time creates a beautiful gradient of indigo and black, adding to the fabric’s depth. Japanese-Inspired Sashiko Design The patterned fabric uses sashiko woven with indigo dye. It features a moderate texture with excellent breathability, making it ideal for warmer weather. The impressive pattern is created using a technique called "discharge printing," where color is removed from the fabric before applying new dye to complete the pattern. This unique approach gives the fabric a Japanese summer feel. Relaxed Design with a Comfortable Fit The open collar design offers a relaxed feel around the neck, providing a sophisticated yet breezy look, perfect for warm days. A simple pocket is placed on the left chest. The cat-eye buttons used on the garment feature black mother-of-pearl for the plain fabric and white mother-of-pearl for the patterned fabric, perfectly matching the overall look and feel. Well-Balanced Sizing The silhouette features a comfortable fit with a slight looseness around the body. With its perfect sizing, it pairs effortlessly with summer shorts or wide pants for an ideal look.
