Lamar Short Sleeve Shirt

Story

Handcrafted, modern menswear responsibly made in New Delhi

Thoughtfully designed and handsomely crafted, Kardo is bringing back what was lost with mass production. Honoring traditional dyeing techniques and supporting handloom weaving communities, Kardo expertly executes timeless menswear silhouettes to bring Indian craftsmanship to a new generation. The fabric for the Lamar Short Sleeve Shirt was woven exclusively for Kardo by Sahil Ansari, a 19-year-old graduate of the Handloom School in Maheshwar who started his own weaving business.

About Kardo

“Stitched by: Manjoor,” read the label of the first KARDO shirt we picked up. The next one had a different name, and so did the one after that. That experience was our first glimpse into KARDO’s unique way of manufacturing clothes and working against fast-fashion, mass-produced trends. Each of their sturdy shirts, pants, and jackets is handmade from start to finish in New Delhi by a single tailor in an ethically-run workshop—all part of their belief that carefully made clothes are better clothes. If you know us, you know there’s no way we’re arguing with that. So we picked up some of our favorite pieces from KARDO’s workshop and plan on keeping them front-and-center in our wardrobes for years to come.
