Product Insights

Utility Cotton Trapeze Shirt by Sacai, 895 CAD in stock, uses a custom 204 gsm long-staple cotton canvas from Japanese mills to hold its trapeze silhouette unaided, reflecting the brand's philosophy of transforming familiar pieces through contrast. A DWR finish retains about 80% breathability yet the nylon yoke reduces ventilation; the finish requires eco-friendly detergents and avoidance of fabric softeners. The cropped hem ends above the hip or waist, with size 1 fitting US women's 2–4 (XS–S) and size 2 fitting US 6–8 (M). Japanese inspections and precision finishing ensure durable hybrid construction, while long-staple cotton resists pilling.
