"A Perfect T-Shirt for the Peak of Summer"

While "heavy and tough" has become synonymous with BARNS OUTFITTERS, this time they've opted for a finer 20/- jersey fabric to create a T-shirt that's easy to wear even during the peak of summer heat. Although finer than their usual yarns, the 20-count yarn used here is still considered relatively thick among standard T-shirt fabrics, striking a balance between breathability and substance. This original body, designed with summer comfort in mind, is finished with BARNS OUTFITTERS’ signature pigment dyeing. A classic American casual style design featuring a three-tiered college logo with a bulldog as the central motif.

"BULLDOGS"

Anyone with a love for American casual style has likely worn a college-logo item at least once. The origin of this style dates back to the 1920s–30s, when the eight private universities known as the Ivy League in the Northeastern United States began producing logo apparel for their athletic teams, which was later sold at campus co-ops. It became a cultural tradition for teams to adopt mascots—often animals or historical figures—as symbols, leading to a variety of mascots unique to each school. Today, every institution has its own distinct mascot and school colors, serving as key elements of their identity. This design takes inspiration from Hollywood souvenir items, featuring a three-tiered college logo with a bulldog as the central motif. The print technique varies by color: white features a washed-out effect, while black, mint gray, and vintage pink use a cracked print for a worn-in vintage look.

The neckline features a simple yet durable binder neck construction, making it tough enough for everyday wear.

The moderately relaxed fit strikes a perfect balance—comfortable enough to wear on its own, yet easy to layer with a shirt or cardigan.

The silhouette, adjusted in length and width for a more boxy shape, works in harmony with the fabric to allow excellent airflow—offering a breezy, effortless feel that makes this piece especially comfortable to wear.

The pigment dye creates a beautifully faded look, and when combined with the texture of the fabric, it gives the T-shirt the character of true vintage wear. With repeated wear and washing, the color continues to fade, allowing you to enjoy its unique aging process as it transforms into a one-of-a-kind piece.
