"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. This piece is based on the uniform of a fictional flower store specializing in delivery.

"The uniform of a fictional flower store specializing in delivery."

Larry's flower store, which specializes in flower delivery, is an indispensable part of the local community. The store is a local institution, and receives many orders every day, no matter what the request is. This item was inspired by the uniform of such a store, with a small print on the front chest and the name of the store printed in large letters on the back. The print is made with a different technique for each body color, with white being imbued with the print, black with cracked rubber, and glazed with half-rubber.

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.
