The Loop & Weft Short Sleeve Crew Neck T-Shirt showcases an exquisite super slub jersey, meticulously crafted in Wakayama, Japan. This shirt features an original slub marled tube knit, uniquely spun with significant irregularities in yarn structure. Each size is carefully knitted on small vintage tubular machines, resulting in a soft, vintage-inspired jersey with enhanced breathability ideal for warm seasons. Seamless sides ensure an stress-free fit, and the fabric's texture grows richer with every wear.
Inspired by 1960s T-shirt designs, the crew neck boasts a distinctive parent-child binder neck detail. The neckline is elegantly set with a piping construction, complemented by triple-needle stitching at the hem and sleeves. Shoulder reinforcements with tape detailing add to its classical charm, with brown stitching thread enhancing the overall aesthetic.
The neckline features just the right amount of openness, adorned with a fine double-wrapped binder neck to maintain shape and create a sharp, prominent impression. The color undergoes a unique overdye process with blue marl, ensuring a faded vintage look over time. The silhouette offers a regular fit tailored for comfort, with ample room at the armholes and shoulders.
Like many other Japanese garments, this tee runs a bit smaller in size compared to your regular American size. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
For the absolute best of the best, look no further than Japan's Loop & Weft, who have been crafting top-tier tees and knitwear with an artisan's eye for more than a decade. Using rare vintage machines, their pieces undergo a tediously slow knitting process that results in incredibly dense and suspiciously soft fabrics with unique uneven textures derived from the combination of natural and recycled fibres. In their efforts towards eco-conscious production, they use natural dyes with low environmental impact, resulting in coveted, one–of–a–kind pieces with a trademark organic unevenness in colour.
