"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 pop and catchy design featuring comical skulls playing music.

"Move your body, free your mind"

Comical skulls playing music with cigarettes in their mouths bring a playful energy to the design. The lineup of instruments evokes a Latin rhythm, reminiscent of the vibrant and joyful sounds of New Orleans jazz’s Second Line. The “Second Line” refers to the group of people who follow behind a brass band during parades—whether for celebrations or funerals—dancing and making rhythm with whatever they have on hand, like tin cans or pot lids. From these roots, powerful genres like jazz, blues, soul, and funk were born. The print uses a washed-out finish to add a vintage feel, enhancing the nostalgic character of the piece.

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.
