Colloquially referred to as the "cashmere" of cotton, a high-grade variant of "Supima cotton" is used in the construction of these cotton jersey pocket crewneck T-shirts. Utilizing a special thread featuring a natural unevenness, and weaving said thread at a high density on high-gauge knitting machines yields this unique proprietary jersey material. Equal parts supple with a soft hand feel, the fabric brings out the natural characteristics of Supima cotton, while reminiscing old school hand-spun cotton and vintage jersey fabrics.

The silhouette is designed to incorporate the standard specifications of a classic crewneck sweatshirt into a short-sleeve T-shirt. The S-shaped freedom sleeves are sewn with a four needle flat seamer machine to maximize construction durability and agility. This construction process requires highly skilled craftsmen to command, and provides a seam allowance that is incomparable with other construction techniques. Moreover, the neckline is layered with a reinforcement tape, the cuffs are constructed using a binder neck method, the chest pocket is reduced in size to mimic a style common in vintage pieces, all combining to create a piece that eloquently pays homage to vintage production.

*Model is pictured wearing a size M.He weighs 59kg (130 pounds) and is 178cm (5’11”) tall.

**As this is a garment-dyed piece, please note that this garment may stain other articles of clothing given the nature of the indigo dye. This bleeding or transfer of color onto other garments can happen when it comes into contact, either directly or during the wash process. We would recommend washing this garment with similar colors.

***Upon performing a wash test, the center back length for this t-shirt shrank 2.5cm (1").
