Amami-Mud Dyed Loop Wheel T Dark Brown
The Amami-Mud Dyed Loop Wheel T from Studio D’Artisan is a rare example of craftsmanship meeting cultural heritage. Knit on a vintage loopwheel machine, the fabric is created slowly, letting the yarn fall by gravity to form a soft, airy jersey with subtle irregularities—something modern machines simply can’t replicate.
What makes this tee truly special is the Amami Dorozome dyeing process. Each shirt is hand-dyed using a traditional method from Amami Ōshima, where Techiki tree extracts and mineral-rich mud are layered to produce a warm, earthy brown tone. The color tells a story of the island’s soil and its people—a natural tone rooted in centuries of tradition.
Lightweight, breathable, and deeply expressive, this is a T-shirt that wears like a second skin and ages like denim.
