100 Hands: Meticulous Attention to Detail
Each 100HANDS shirt is the result of around 34 hours of handwork. Patterns are drawn by hand, fabrics cut by hand, seams sewn slowly, buttonholes embroidered one by one, and hems softly rolled. These choices are not ornamental — they exist to improve comfort, balance, and longevity.
For those who believe the shirt deserves the same attention as any fine shoe, 100HANDS represents the very best of the craft.
