This crew neck tee, completed through numerous trials and errors, features a realistic vintage feel. It combines American classic style with contemporary patterns.
Using original dyeing and processing techniques, it achieves a unique texture that looks as if it has been worn for years. Crafted slowly and with care, it embodies the desire for quality over efficiency.
The trendy khaki color is an exclusive color, available only here.
Made using the rare premium knitting machine "COZUN," which is one of only a few in the world. This small gauge knitting machine is an improved version of the "suspension knitting machine" from the Taisho era (1912-1926).
The older knitting machines used before the advent of large gauge circular machines.
Currently, very few of these machines are operational worldwide, and only a few companies in Japan use them. The charm lies in its ability to knit softly while maintaining a moderate speed and tension. The unique texture produced by this rare machine is truly exceptional.
The "answer" that BARNS sought for capturing the dry American air feel is found here.
The main stitching on the armholes, sleeves, and sides uses the 1960s American-made "Union Special" flat seam machine. The flat seam stitch, using four needles, is known for its durability, capable of withstanding numerous wears and washes!
The seams are sewn without overlapping, providing a stress-free fit. Experience the unique vintage feel that only a few skilled artisans and rare machines in Japan can create.
The tee features a slightly loose short-length silhouette with relaxed fit in the arms and body. The round-body knitting, which has no side seams, offers exceptional comfort.
The body is sewn with two pieces of fabric on the front and back, eliminating side seams for a stress-free wear.
The neckline features a binder neck to prevent stretching. The back design is meticulously crafted, and the sturdy sweat-like cuffs ensure durability and resistance to wear and tear.
As an innerwear, durability is essential, and everyone desires long-lasting items. The design's resistance to deformation ensures this tee will be a long-lasting favorite.
