The "Kashtan" light blue men's vyshyvanka is a symbol of memory, resilience, and inner beauty, dedicated to the tree that has become a true hallmark of the capital over time. In the minds of Ukrainians, especially Kyivans, the chestnut is not just a part of the urban landscape.

What the chestnut symbolizes in the Ukrainian context:

• Strong roots – the chestnut tree holds well even in difficult soil, symbolizing connection to native land, lineage, and endurance.
• Blossom-light – chestnut inflorescences resemble "burning" candles. They symbolize inner light, rebirth, the beginning of something new.
• In the XX century, chestnuts became the unofficial symbol of Kyiv. They were planted along streets, mentioned in songs, and depicted in graphics. They became a sign of urban roots, love for one's city, even if one is far from it.
• Balance of strength and tenderness – the tree is massive, the leaves are large, but the flowers are exquisite and delicate. This is a metaphor for a person who has inner strength but is capable of feeling beauty and warmth.
