Stillness Samue — Mesh

Before action, there is readiness.
Before movement, there is stillness.

SAMUE SHORT SLEEVE is derived from the traditional working garment worn by Zen practitioners and craftsmen — individuals whose daily practice required presence without distraction. Adapted for warmer climates and continuous movement, the short sleeve preserves the original purpose while allowing greater openness and ease.

Its structure remains quiet, balanced, and uninterrupted. The shortened sleeve creates freedom without sacrificing composure. Nothing calls for attention. Every element serves function, allowing the body to settle and the mind to remain clear.

Repurposed for modern life, SAMUE SHORT SLEEVE becomes a uniform for presence in motion. Whether working, creating, or simply being, it supports clarity without excess.

Stillness is not remaining still.
It is remaining centered.

This garment is designed to create a continuous line through the body while allowing ease through the arms. Sizing is based on height and structure rather than standard categories — height for overall length balance, chest for wrap and volume, shoulder width for alignment of form, sleeve opening for natural arm movement. If between sizes, choose based on how you prefer the garment to sit in space.

• Extended (L) — Height 79 cm · Chest 69 cm · Shoulder 72 cm · Sleeve 23.5 cm

Care

Care should be taken with the same awareness as wearing.

Washing — cold water (30°C / 86°F or below), gentle cycle or hand wash, mild detergent only, wash with similar colours.

Drying — do not tumble dry; hang in a well-ventilated, shaded space; let the garment return to form naturally.

Ironing — low heat if needed; steam preferred to restore natural drape.

Storage — cool, dry space; hang or fold with care; avoid prolonged compression.
