Today, we are introducing a new shirt from the 25-26AW collection of DEVOA , now available not only at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi) but also newly at FASCINATE KYOTO (Kyoto Kawaramachi) this season.
This season, DEVOA offers a wide range of shirts, each with its own unique personality and charm.
There are three designs: a regular-collar loose fit, a new relaxed fit, and a collarless long shirt. They are made from cotton broadcloth and linen, each crafted to offer a different look and feel.
While all are confidently recommended, this time we have picked the cotton broadcloth shirt.
This SUVIN cotton broadcloth fabric was first introduced last year and received an overwhelming response, with sizes selling out immediately after release.
It combines a standard design with an exceptional texture, making it perfect for everyday use as well as slightly special occasions. Please take a look.
SUVIN Cotton Broadcloth, Carefully Crafted by the Designer
When talking about the charm of this shirt, the original fabric meticulously developed by designer Nishida is essential. The material used is SUVIN cotton, one of the rarest extra-long staple cottons in the world.
The fibers themselves are long and rich in natural oils, giving them both a cashmere-like smoothness and a silk-like sheen.
DEVOA spun this highest-grade cotton into a superfine 170 count yarn—thinner than a human hair—and then twisted two of these threads together to create “two-ply” yarn.
By making it two-ply, the yarn gains strength despite its delicate appearance, creating durability that can withstand home washing.
This yarn is woven into one of the most representative shirt fabrics, “broadcloth.”
The high-density weave makes it lightweight yet not see-through, and it produces a moderate crispness.
As a result, it offers both a smooth touch that glides over the skin without friction and the refined elegance of a dress shirt.
Furthermore, DEVOA’s attention to detail extends to the smallest aspects.
The facing on the front body is made larger than usual, and a thin layer of cotton fabric is added to the inside to provide double protection against transparency when worn directly on the skin without an undershirt.
Also, while maintaining an elegant sheen, the garment is given a one-wash finish, resulting in a natural texture that makes it easy to wear casually in daily life.
Delicacy and Strength — Easy Care for Everyday Wear
Contrary to its delicate appearance from the superfine yarns, this fabric is actually very easy to care for—one of its standout features.
With a finish that increases wash fastness, it can be washed at home. It hardly shows any pilling, and the beautiful luster characteristic of SUVIN cotton remains intact.
You can enjoy the fine wrinkles from wearing it unpressed, or iron it to bring out a dressy and refined look. The wearer can create their preferred mood depending on the day.
Thinness and durability, luxury and ease of daily use—this shirt embodies DEVOA’s essence in balancing seemingly contradictory qualities.
Staff Wearing and Washing Review
I personally own and wear this fabric shirt, and care is extremely easy. I place it in a laundry net, fold it slightly, wash it, and then lightly smooth out the wrinkles when hanging it to dry.
I wear it with a bit of residual wrinkling to take advantage of the washed texture.
The naturally washed feel means there’s no need for excessive care—another welcome point.
Three Distinctive Designs
Now, let’s look at the differences in design and silhouette for each model.
First, here are the shared details.
【Common Details】
- Color Variations: Black / Dark Khaki
- Buttons: Uniformly finished with vintage-processed snap buttons that look as if the surface has worn off from long use.
- Front Body: Double-layered to prevent transparency even when worn directly on the skin.
- Stitching: Bar-tack stitching placed in various areas as a design accent.
Loose Fit Shirt with a Perfectly Relaxed Feel / SHC-S17SH
A regular-collar shirt with a relaxed silhouette, having little to no waist suppression, which gives it a classic feel.
Though it appears minimal, advanced pattern-making techniques are used, such as constructing the sleeves from three parts.
The drop shoulders soften the formal impression, and tucks at the elbows secure both three-dimensionality around the arms and ease of movement.
The length is perfectly balanced for both tucking in and wearing untucked.

New Silhouette Fitted Shirt / SHC-S17V
A new silhouette introduced from the 25-26AW collection, offering a slightly more relaxed fit than the conventional regular fit.
By gently tapering from the underarm to the hem, it creates a clean and smart look.
The sleeves feature a three-dimensional pattern combining curves and darts, securing a full range of motion while preventing excess fabric from gathering under the arms for a neat finish.
The spacing between the buttons at the neckline has been meticulously adjusted to draw the eye upward, subtly enhancing a sharp and refined impression.

Long Shirt Pursuing Minimalism / SHC-S17L
A long, collarless shirt with a slightly higher neckline to beautifully emphasize the vertical lines.
Building upon the semi-long length developed over the past few seasons, this season it has evolved into a truly long length.
The shoulder area is kept clean, while two seams along each side create a structured three-dimensional silhouette.
The neckline features a double-layer construction in the same fabric, ensuring that the seam allowance does not touch the skin for enhanced comfort.
