【Season Color】 “STANDARD” TSURIAMI Crew Neck T-Shirt【Part 2】 BR-11000

"2024S/S Second set of seasonal colors are now available"

The fabric is knitted slowly and carefully with air on a 100-year-old "hanging knitting machine" still in existence in Wakayama Prefecture, and its greatest feature is its exquisite tension and body-hugging comfort. The second new color for the spring/summer season is "Blue Grey," an elegant and sophisticated smoky hue, and "Vintage Red," a vivid yet calm color perfect for spring/summer. Both colors are perfect for the main character of the garment as well as for a color accent.

This item is carefully sewn by skilled craftsmen in Japan from airy, soft, and firm hang-knit fabric. The fabric made of hang-knit fabric has a moderate fit, and is outstanding in terms of both elasticity and texture.

「Our loopwheel knitting method」
 We utilize a traditional falling loopwheel knitting system where fabric is suspended in the air and knitted using its own weight as a counterbalance. This method can only knit one meter of fabric per hour, but produces a very fine and high quality knit. Due to low production capacity, there are only a few hundred of these machines in operation today. This method, while painstaking, is an integral part of creating unique fabric expressions in our signature BARNS knits.

"We want to provide the best T-shirts that are used all year round and that we are truly committed to."

The neck is a binder neck, which is sewn across the body as seen in vintage models. This is a specification for excellent elasticity and durability, and to be used for many years.

By making the size regular, the characteristics of the hang-knit fabric can be felt to the maximum extent, achieving an eternal standard that is not affected by time.

Pockets are delicately adjusted according to size, and the pocket size is best balanced no matter which size you choose.

A hang knitting machine is a machine that knits fabric in a tubular shape. Therefore, the fabric is knitted without any joints on the sides, called "Marudo", and is used as it is. The body is finished in a tubular shape, making it difficult to adjust the size, so the "sleeve attachment angle, sleeve width, and the line that follows the body from the shoulder area to the second arm are adjusted, and the width of the sleeves is fine-tuned. This created a universal silhouette, but with sizing that looks good as a single piece of clothing. While adopting a vintage-like design, the universal silhouette makes it an easy-to-wear piece for both in and out.

Uneven yarns made from rice cotton are used, which have more fluff than ordinary yarns to retain a dry, crisp texture. The softness and rough texture are created by knitting the fabric slowly so that the yarn contains air.

*Due to the characteristics of the hang knitting machine, there may be an error of 1 to 3 cm depending on the product.
