"Heavyweight T-Shirt Made from No.14 Yarn"

Vintage T-shirts from before the 1990s often featured a tubular, seamless body, eliminating the need for side seams. This made them ideal for mass production and a common choice for affordable American-made T-shirts of the era. Over time, however, side seams became standard because adjusting the width of the body required modifying the knitting machine, making width adjustments easier. This piece recreates that classic American vintage look with a tubular body. For the Fall/Winter 2025 season, it appears as a pigment-dyed football T-shirt design. For the Fall/Winter 2025 season, a pigment-dyed football T-shirt debuts with a collegiate-style three-tier logo, showcasing a classic American casual design.

"TRIBECA"

Tribeca is a district in lower Manhattan, New York. Its name is an abbreviation of "Triangle Below Canal Street," reflecting its triangular shape. Originally a warehouse and industrial area, it attracted young artists due to its low rents and evolved into a hub for the arts. Today, it has transformed into an upscale residential neighborhood home to celebrities and is famously known for hosting the annual Tribeca Film Festival. This piece takes inspiration from the district’s gym class apparel, featuring a classic American casual three-tier college logo with a tiger at the center. All colors are finished with a cracked print for a vintage touch.

The neck is finished with a taco binder, keeping seams from rubbing against the skin for stress-free comfort while ensuring durability—a feature often seen in classic American vintage garments.

Football T-shirts, originally used as American football uniforms, are said to have taken their current form around the 1950s and became popular as daily wear from sportswear in the 1970s. The fabric across the shoulders and chest is often reinforced, primarily to withstand the impact of tackles. The slightly relaxed fit strikes a perfect balance, offering a modern look while remaining fundamentally classic.

The fabric is made using the tubular construction, known for its seamless design, meaning there are no side seams. This tubular body construction provides a smooth feel against the skin, ensuring a gentle touch and stress-free wear. The absence of side seams enhances comfort, making it perfect for all-day wear without any discomfort or irritation.

The fabric is densely knit using No.14 yarn, resulting in a heavy, durable texture. True to BARNS OUTFITTERS' identity, it’s tough and made to be worn hard. All colors except white are pigment-dyed, offering a unique look that will age beautifully over time.
