From OUTIL, we have received a new item, the French-made Basque shirt, which can be said to be the face of the brand.


A rare French-made Basque shirt, uncommon among Japanese brands.

Uti Basque Shirt
OUTIL's designer, Uta, has traveled all over France to learn about traditional handicrafts and manufacturing methods, and is also developing factories himself. As a result, he has succeeded in creating items made in France, which is rare for domestic brands, and many of OUTIL's cut-and-sew items are Made in France.

The entire production process, from knitting the fabric to sewing, is carried out in a factory in the Basque region of France with over 50 years of history.


The fabric of TRICOT AAST is a russell knit material reminiscent of the French military.

Uti Border T
TRICOT ASST is a vertically knitted raschel fabric made to reproduce the same fabric used in the French military Basque shirts of the time. It is 100% cotton and has a moderate elasticity and excellent comfort. The weave becomes tighter with washing, and it feels better against the skin. The fabric is just the right thickness, so you'll definitely wear it all year round.


About the size of Uti's Basque shirts.

Uti Basque Border TEE
Uti's Basque shirts are made with the same texture and details as the French military, but with an oversized silhouette that is in keeping with the modern times. Not only are the width and length generous, but the shoulders and sleeves are also generously long.

The person in the photo is 180cm, 80kg and wearing size 3. I could have worn either size 1 or 2, but I thought size 3 was the best fit for me, given the exquisite drape of the fabric and the roominess of this Basque shirt.

It's roomy, so you can wear it as is with shorts, or tuck it into military pants or jeans for some fun coordination.
