Simple made better.
Colours and patterns defined by fine-quality yarn.
An ultra‑long cotton allows dye to penetrate deeply, creating a vivid depth of colour. Yarn thickness and density are calibrated for every color and pattern, ensuring the fabric conveys the intended look of each shirt.

A good shirt starts with good cotton.
The process of making cotton garments is not simple, and involves untangling cotton flowers to create material. Extra-long staple cotton, with thick fiber lengths of 35 mm or more, is high-quality cotton that is very smooth, soft and rare. At UNIQLO's factory, impurities are carefully removed from the block-shaped bales of extra-long staple cotton. The fibers are then twisted many times to gradually align in their direction, resulting in beautifully spun yarn.
Symmetrical beauty by hand.
Every detail is meticulous, and that’s the secret to making a beautiful shirt The fabric for patterned, extra-fine-cotton shirts is roughly cut and then adjustments are made by hand to ensure the patterns align perfectly. After each pattern is properly aligned, it's cut again. This two-step process ensures that the patterns for the collar, placket, sleeves, and cuffs are symmetrical, and that each part is finished beautifully without misalignment.
