"Vintage-Like T-Shirt"

One of the distinctive features often seen in vintage T-shirts is the use of a "tubular body" with no side seams. This design eliminated the need for side stitching, making it ideal for mass production. As a result, most American-made T-shirts at the time were made using this "tubular" (TUBE) construction. However, as the demand for more diverse sizing grew with the times, side-seamed styles gradually became the norm. To recreate those classic vintage items, our [TUBE T-shirt] series is back again this year—featuring 16-count BD yarn, a tubular body, and a faded look achieved through pigment dyeing. A design inspired by classic New York souvenir items.

"One of the World’s Largest Cities"

Located on the East Coast of the United States, New York is not only the largest city in the U.S. but also one of the most prominent cities in the world. A true melting pot—or more accurately, a "salad bowl"—New York is home to a richly diverse mix of people and cultures from all over the globe. Renowned as a hub of art and entertainment, the city boasts iconic destinations such as Broadway and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), along with countless other museums. Landmarks like Times Square, Central Park, and the Empire State Building make the city itself a living attraction. This piece draws inspiration from classic New York souvenir items, featuring a casual hand-drawn map with famous landmarks added in. For the print, a washed-out effect is used on the white version, while the charcoal version features a cracked print—each offering a different vintage feel.

The neckline features a simple yet durable binder neck construction, designed for long-lasting wear.

The moderately relaxed fit makes it perfect for wearing on its own or layered under a shirt or cardigan. Its well-balanced silhouette adapts easily to a variety of styles.

The fabric features a tubular construction, known as "marudo" (circular knit), with no side seams. This seamless, tube-shaped body offers a gentle feel against the skin and provides a stress-free wearing experience.

To faithfully recreate the look and feel of vintage American-made T-shirts, we’ve used a crisp, dry-textured fabric made from 16-count BD yarn. The pigment-dyeing process further enhances the vintage appeal by creating a naturally faded look unique to aged garments. As you wear and wash it over time, the color continues to fade, allowing you to enjoy the evolution of the piece into a truly one-of-a-kind item.
