Linen Patchwork 908 Loafer Shirt

A discreet little pocket adds a charming accent to this hidden-button shirt. Though casual in appearance, it carries the refined air of a loafer shirt.

At 45R, our approach to craftsmanship is rooted in a deep respect for materials. We carefully preserve even the smallest fabric remnants left over from the cutting process, embracing the Japanese spirit of “mottainai”—a sense of not letting things go to waste.

Because the smooth texture of linen tends to shift easily, we take great care to align each piece without distortion. The variously shaped scraps are trimmed into perfect squares, then stitched together one by one with precision and thought. The result is a rich expression of Madras check—an iconic traditional pattern from India, brought to life through thoughtful Japanese craftsmanship.
