Stand somewhere new and still feel like yourself. Pijak is Bahasa Indonesia for the ground where you stand firmly and find your balance, and the Pijak Shirt is the anchor of the AKAR collection. A men's loose-fit shirt in breathable cotton-linen jacquard, with a drop shoulder, 7/8 sleeves folded back at the cuff, a curved hem split at each side and a mandarin collar with a V-neck and Chinese-inspired button. Our mantra, "I root where I walk", is embroidered in HAYAQI green at the side back.
The collar is framed in Air beige Ikat. Its yarn was tied and dyed by hand in Central Java, then worked on a hand loom for close to two months, so no two collars are ever quite alike. Each shirt is cut and finished by a small family workshop in Bali, in small batches.
Wear it under the Teduh Cardigan, or with the Jejak Pants for the full AKAR look. Light enough for Bali afternoons, sharp enough for dinner in a metropolitan city.
