"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. And by popular demand, the long-awaited plain (solid color) version is finally here.

"Reproducing American Vintage"

The tubular body, which has no side seams, was commonly used for inexpensive T-shirts made for printing during the era of mass production and mass consumption, thanks to its high production efficiency. Our [Tube Tee] series faithfully recreates the atmosphere of that time, paying close attention to every detail. 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.
