"Grandpa Shirt" is an indispensable part of French vintage style

Grandpa Shirt is a general term for shirts that are characterized by their long length and pullover design, and is also known as the "Grandfather Shirt."
Grandpa (It is said that it was named after the meaning of an old shirt that Grandpa would wear.

It was worn as everyday wear such as workwear from the time, as well as pajamas and underwear, and was worn for a wide range of purposes.
We have also seen a variety of fabrics, including cotton fabrics, flannel fabrics, chambray fabrics, linen fabrics, wool fabrics, etc., depending on the working environment, seasons, and historical background.

Regarding this individual,This is a rare item made from the rare and popular French vintage fabric "Metis" fabric.

I think the cotton blend ratio is more likely to be used in the texture, so you hardly notice the swaying, swaying texture of French linen, and it has a smooth feel.
The ratio of cotton is about 80% and linen is about 20%.

Although it is rare for the Metis fabric alone, this individual is a rare item that also has the "indigo color" that gives off a distinctive atmosphere.

There are many ink blue work jackets, but indigo styles, the number of balls decreases all at once, and the market value of them is immeasurable. France's proud indigo color is so beautiful that you can sigh.

Winter fabrics such as corduroy and wool are limited in the season to wear, but Metis fabrics can be worn all year round, so it can be expected to be used in a wide range of ways.

A rare two-tone design with different dyed indigo colors for the collar and body.

While the deep purple indigo blends in all over, the light indigo on the collar creates a beautiful contrast, creating a visual accent.

A simple patch pocket is placed on the left chest.
Not only is it functional, but it also has a special detail that gives off a sense of the work style of the good old days.

The front is pullover, and the buttons used are natural shell buttons with a beautiful glossy finish.
The unique texture of the shell, each one showing a different look, adds elegance to the entire shirt.

The cuffs have a gathered cuff design.
The unique silhouette created by the voluminous sleeves creates a relaxed atmosphere and a moderately relaxed look.

There are slits on both sides without gussets.

Additionally, the "darning repair" that was found everywhere was hand-made rather than machinery, and strongly reflects the good old French lifestyle culture.
The color of the thread and the shaking of the sewing, all of these further enhance the value of being a "one-of-a-kind item."

Not only can you simply pair it with work pants to enjoy the rugged French work style, but it goes well with slacks and wide pants for a fashionable look.

The "traces of life" that this piece has is its greatest appeal, and it will shine even further depending on the sensibility of the wearer.

I can't check the size notation, butJapanese size I think it falls to "M".

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.

There are signs of wear such as fading, dirt, tears, and repair marks, but there are no major damage that can cause problems with wearing it, so I think you can still wear it.
I think that those who understand this will be in the condition that will actually be "attractive."
