“Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely”
– Auguste René Rodin
The shirt bears the name of Parisian sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840 – 1917). A traditionally schooled sculptor who approaches his work like a craftsman. One of his most famous works is Le Penseur (The Thinker). A bronze nude male figure sitting on a rock, his chin resting on his hand. Besides Rodin’s sculptures, his personal workwear is a great inspiration when designing Hul le Kes garments.
This garment is made from old bedding fabrics, after making it has been dyed with our natural dyes. The beddings that are used are made of 100% cotton and collected via our recycling partners or via donations people have made. The garment is dyed with different kinds of plants and plant extracts, together they give the various kinds of blue tones.

Are you done with the shirt? We are always happy to receive old items back, especially if they are provided with their original passport. Or give the garment, including its passport, to your beloved friend or family member. But never forget: do not throw away your Hul le Kes garment.
To care for your natural dyed items from Hul le Kes, it is best to store them in a cool, dark place and avoid washing them. Instead, hang the garment outside on a fresh evening, in the shade, and sheltered from the rain. Natural dyes are unique and will fade over time, adding character to the piece. However, if you wish to refresh its color, the garment can be redyed through the Hul le Kes Dyeing Service, allowing it to evolve and stay vibrant for years to come.
