Putting the texture on a pedestal, the face of this fabric is spectacular, but the real party is on the reverse side of the latest proprietary development from Japan's "Best Knitwear". This dense, unique ribbed knit fabric features fine vertical stripes on the outer surface and a smooth, comfortable inner surface, offering superior insulation and a luxurious feel.

Recreated from an original military vintage thermal dating back to the 1950s, the painstaking process of recreating this garment reproduces the original vintage down to the smallest details. The serged hem is designed to tuck easily into bottoms, making it an ideal base layer for colder months. To complete the aesthetic, a Union Special 4-needle flat seamer is used to construct the garment in entirely 100% cotton construction thread.

Produced in Wakayama as always, Okayama's denim equivalent for cotton jersey tees & sweats, the proprietary "Classic Royal" rib knit fabric is both exceptionally warm and breathable. The weave will retain great structure even after extended wear. The double face nature of this fabric tells the core of the story, expertly sewn together by the aging craftsman in Wakayama in the case of Loop & Weft's production.
