While all my shibori and tie-dye garments are laundered and ready to wear, you are recommended to wash separately or with similar colours for at least the first few washes for your own peace of mind. Wash at 40, avoid bleach and don’t use optical brighteners to keep your shibori polo looking its striking best.

The garment pictured is a size L. I am able to make this style of garment to order in sizes S-XXL or junior sizes for an additional cost. Please contact me if you require a custom listing.

I had successfully applied the mokume technique to one side of a vest top and to t shirts before, but I wanted to make a smarter mokume piece. I chose a kiwi colour polo as a base garment and applied yellow and cobalt blue dye to produce colours ranging from dark forest green to golden yellow.

As Mokume is a shibori technique that translates as "woodgrain", I was inspired to use colours that remind me of trees and fields. I was thinking of something I would like to wear myself. I love green colours and nature, so this colourway was one I felt captured the idea of trees and wild flowers, and looked good on a garment.

The work of preparing the polo took a great deal of time, but I think it's worth the effort for the bold pattern it gives. This is really a unique garment.
