Kailash Shirt - Handwoven Kala Cotton - Pacific

A casual button up that's easy to wear day to day. This one size unisex shirt has a soft Nehru collar, covered placket and two chest pockets. Looks great worn open or closed with the full length sleeves rolled up. This cotton just gets softer over time. 

Made with beautiful handwoven kala cotton cloth. Kala cotton is indigenous to the Kachchh region of India. It is highly sustainable and organic by nature, as farmers do not need to use any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. All it needs to thrive is one monsoon a year. The final product is a desirable cotton with a natural fleck that softens with every wash.
