This is a men's half-sleeve button-down shirt made from what appears to be authentic Sambalpuri handloom cotton. The shirt has a regular collar and a single patch pocket on the left chest. The fit seems to be a comfortable, regular fit, neither too loose nor too tight.

Fabric and Weave

The shirt is made from pure cotton, known for its breathable and comfortable nature, making it suitable for casual and semi-formal wear, especially in warmer climates. The fabric has the slightly coarse texture characteristic of handwoven cotton. The most distinctive feature is the use of the "Ikat" tie-and-dye weaving technique, which is a hallmark of Sambalpuri textiles. In this process, the threads are tie-dyed before being woven, creating the unique, blurry-edged patterns.

Design and Patterns

The design is a geometric grid or checked pattern. Each square or rectangular block within the grid contains a specific motif. The dominant colors are a dark, rich maroon and a teal or deep sea-green.

 * Maroon Blocks: These blocks feature a repeating, stylized maroon and white or light-colored figure. The figure resembles a dancing doll or perhaps a stylized human figure, often found in traditional Indian folk art.

 * Green Blocks: These blocks are a solid teal or deep sea-green, providing a strong color contrast and visual balance to the patterned maroon blocks.

The combination of the two colors and the intricate, rhythmic placement of the figures creates a visually striking and traditional look. The patterns are woven into the fabric, rather than being printed on top.

Style and Details

 * Collar: Regular point collar.

 * Sleeves: Half-sleeves.

 * Front Placket: Full button-down front with what looks like white or light-colored buttons that blend with the lighter tones in the fabric.

 * Pocket: A single patch pocket on the left chest, with the pattern of the fabric perfectly aligned with the rest of the shirt front.
