"STANDARD" 18/- OE Tough neck S/S Print T-shirt【ALASKA】BR-25282

"The Ideal Solution for Durable Daily Wear"

This item, designed with the concepts of "resistance to stretching" and "long-lasting durability", has been incredibly popular since its debut. Crafted from a moderately thick, irregularly textured yarn, it offers both comfort and strength. While it has undergone minor changes each season as a staple item, it has now been decided that the fabric and specifications used with the 18/-OE fabric will continue to be used in the future, making it a truly timeless standard. This time, a polar bear enjoying bowling on the vast land of Alaska makes an appearance.

The fabric is wrapped in a trumpet-like swirl, incorporating both the main body and ribbing, with a double binder sewn around the entire 360 degrees. Due to the special nature of this design, each piece is carefully sewn by experienced craftsmen, ensuring meticulous attention to detail.

"THE LAST FRONTIER"

Alaska, located at the northernmost tip of the United States, is often called "The Last Frontier" due to its vast untouched nature that still remains abundant. This region is rich in expansive wilderness, extreme cold climates, diverse wildlife, and unique cultures and traditions, including those of the indigenous Inuit people. In the far northern part of Alaska lives the White Bear (polar bear), an iconic animal representing the state. This print depicts the bear enjoying a game of bowling. With a mischievous grin as if it has just thought up a prank, the ball it throws may be aimed at pins made of frozen fish. For the print finish, a washout effect is used on the white base, while crack effects are applied to the black and blue versions.

Thanks to the 360-degree double binder stitching, this design not only adds a stylish accent but also results in a tough, durable piece that embodies the ideal BARNS OUTFITTERS spirit. This construction effectively minimizes neck stretching and distortion, common issues with T-shirts.

The armholes are designed with extra room for better airflow, and combined with the dry texture of the fabric, this piece becomes an ideal choice for the hottest summer days, offering both comfort and breathability.

The length is designed to match the relaxed fit, creating a boxy silhouette that complements the wide body. This design reflects the modern aesthetic that BARNS OUTFITTERS envisions.

The OE (Open End) yarn, spun using air-spinning technology, has uneven fibers that trap more air, giving it a unique coarse and dry texture. This rugged, tough feel of the fabric is a hallmark of the BARNS OUTFITTERS style, adding to its authenticity and durability.
