We've dyed our Echigo Hemp Cotton Fundoshi with indigo and eco-friendly dyes using the shibori (tie-dye) technique. Please be aware that there may be subtle color variations that are difficult to see in the photos, and the color may differ slightly from the photos. (It may be slightly lighter than in the photos.) Also, initially, there is a possibility of color transfer if washed with other laundry. If possible, hand wash with a neutral detergent, such as when taking a bath, and after the color fading stops, put it in a laundry net and use a washing machine with other laundry. After washing, please shape it and hang it to dry in the shade. Please purchase after understanding the above. 【Features】 Uses a 'soft and smooth' and gentle, lightweight, high-quality hemp cotton fabric made of 55% hemp and 45% cotton. The stretch fabric is popular with those who do a lot of work, and it's durable enough for heavy rotation. This fabric doesn't fray, so we simply left the edges raw. Leaving the edges raw allows for faster drying and prevents the growth of bacteria. The lines on both ends curl without fraying, giving a natural and wild impression. If you feel the front drape is too long, you can self-cut it with scissors (it won't fray). 【Material and Details of the String】 The string material uses carefully selected, sturdy, and soft cotton. The string width gradually narrows to reduce bulkiness in the front drape. 【Size】 Width: Approximately 28-30cm Length: Approximately 98cm String Length: Approximately 145cm String Width: Approximately 2.5cm (gradually narrows) (Size notation after washing. There is some shrinkage initially.) Made in Japan 【Notes】 ● Wash by hand, or if using a washing machine, use a laundry net. ● Due to the characteristics of the stretchy hemp cotton fabric, please shape it and hang it to dry in the shade after washing. ● Thick hemp threads may be woven into the fabric, or dark spots may occasionally appear, but do not pull on them. ● The traditional weaving method results in uneven warp and weft threads, but please understand this as a vintage-like characteristic. ● If you cut it with scissors to adjust the length, please wash it once beforehand. ● Due to the elasticity, the size notation is not exact.
