"T-shirts that look like vintage"

One of the most common features of vintage T-shirts is called “Marudo”, which has no seams on the sides. This is because it was suitable for mass production without sewing the sides, and most of the T-shirts made in the U.S. at that time were of “Marudo = TUBE” specification. In order to reproduce such items from those days, the long-sleeved version is now available in the “TUBE T-shirt” series, which expresses a faded look with its round-body specifications and pigment dyeing. The item is finished to look like a vintage item.

"Reproduction of American vintage"

The “round-body” body with no seams on the sides was a common specification for inexpensive T-shirts with printed bodies because of its high production efficiency in an era when mass production and mass consumption were the norm. The Tube T-shirt series was created to reproduce the American atmosphere of that era, paying close attention to every detail. The neck is a simple 2-needle lockstitch instead of the binder often used for BARNS OUTFITTERS. You can feel the atmosphere of those days from these parts.

The moderately roomy size is well balanced and can be worn alone or with a shirt or cardigan. It is a piece that can be worn in a variety of styles.

The fabric is made without any seams on the sides, called “Marudo”, and is used as it is. The tubular body is soft against the skin and allows for stress-free wearing.

Pigment dyeing is used to add color to the surface of the fabric, followed by a wash process to reproduce the faded look characteristic of old clothes.

In order to reproduce the American-made T-shirts of the time, we focused on selecting fabrics that were dry and crisp.
