TENDER ARGYLE HAND POCKET SHIRT - BEEKEEPER'S CLOTH - ACHILLES' HEEL INDIGO DYED
An argyle is a weaving or knitting pattern composed of diamond shapes, often interlocking with thinner diagonal checks. The Argyle Hand Pocket Shirt is based on the Millwheel Shirt, with diagonally angled square hand-warmer pockets forming an argyle pattern at the bottoms of the front panels. Argyles are a loose adaptation of the Clan Campbell tartan from Argyle in the West of Scotland, and were popularised in the early
Twentieth Century by the Duke ofWindsor.
An expansion of William's Achilles dyeing programme. In this instance hand dyed with indigo in Kojima, the edges of the garment are gripped tightly, showing the lesser dyed cotton yarn underneath.
The honeycomb structure of this cloth is inspired by the fabric of beekeeper's clothing, designed to be too thick to allow stings to penetrate, while being relatively airy and cool to wear. This is the new fine version of the cloth developed in 2022, which has a slightly smaller cell size, and is woven from a finer cotton yarn, making it smoother and lighter in warm weather than the original Beekeeper's Cloth woven in 2016.
