Classic clerical shirt

The SETTO CLE SHIRT features striking white accents on the collar and cuffs. As the name suggests, it is designed like a clerical shirt, adding elegance and style to a simple shirt.

A harmonious blend of regenerated modal and wool

This gabardine fabric combines wool with modal (rayon), a recycled fiber derived from beech trees. Modal's silky smooth texture and excellent moisture absorption/release properties are complemented by wool's warmth and moderate firmness, providing comfort that suits every season. It's water-resistant, durable, and environmentally friendly. Tumble-dried to add volume, the fabric achieves a light yet fluffy finish. Its subtle luster and gentle drape create beautiful shadows with every movement. While slightly thin, it's not see-through, adding a touch of elegance to fall and winter outfits.

The relaxed design of the body gently embraces the wearer. In contrast, the band collar stands out neatly, creating a sophisticated look around the face. This well-balanced silhouette conveys both a relaxed and elegant feel. Cleric shirts, with their white collar and cuffs contrasting with the body's color and pattern, are a traditional style cultivated in business settings. Whether worn alone or with a jacket, the white paneling draws attention and brings the whole outfit together. It's not flashy, but it's a detail that definitely makes a statement.

Pair it with slacks or a fitted skirt for a smart look, or pair it with wide-leg pants for a relaxed look. We also recommend layering it with a vest to show just the collar for a more defined look. The white paneling gives the CLE SHIRT a dignified look. Traditional details meet modern fabric technology, making it a piece you'll want to cherish for years to come.

Clothes that become your partner

SETTO continues to make comfortable clothes that are meant to be used for a long time. The brand has been developed since 2014 by Japan Blue Co., Ltd., a textile manufacturer in Kojima, Okayama Prefecture, known for providing materials to domestic and international brands.

Kurashiki and Kojima, now known as the mecca of denim, were once an island in the Seto Inland Sea. The land created by reclaiming shallow waters became a popular place for growing cotton, which is more tolerant of salt than rice, and the spinning industry developed. Before the war, when clothing began to become more westernized, they made school uniforms and jeans, and after the war, Kojima became a leading producer of jeans after the American workwear boom and jeans boom. Japan Blue Co., Ltd. has continued to make casual wear fabrics in Kojima, a place with such a history. This is why they continue to make convincing and valuable clothes.

SETTO's distinctive feature is that they consider material development to be design, and are particular about threads, fabrics, colors, and shapes based on the know-how they have gained from planning and selling textiles. They consider clothes to be long-lasting partners, and continue to create clothes that value the essence while finding the joy and fun of surprises and discoveries in everyday life.
