**NWOT **Vintage 100% Tea Silk Shirt

**NWOT ** 100% SILK (Tea Silk), Dry clean. Tea silk or xiangyunsha, (which translates as ‘fragrant cloud organdy’) is silk which has been through a complicated natural dye process with traditions that date back to the Ming Dynasty (14th – 17th century), when it was considered to be the most luxurious fabric. The silk is dyed 30 to 40 times with a type of tannin-rich yam, and laid out flat to dry between each immersion. It is covered with a particular type of uncontaminated, iron rich river mud, which endows it with its characteristic dark sheen. In the past, the silk was washed in a stew of leftover tea of it’s namesake before finishing. The process results in a natural, uneven shading; dark on one side and a rust brown on the reverse. The lustrous finish increases with age, like a pearl and as the material ages. Measurements (approx. taken laid flat):
