【Pigment Dye】"Roomy" S/S T-shirt【Solid Color】BR-26236

"The Vintage-Like T-Shirt: Roomy Fit"

One of the most iconic features of vintage American T-shirts is the "Tubular Body" construction.
Since this method eliminates the need for side seams, it was the gold standard for mass production in the USA during the mid-20th century. 
However, as times changed and the demand for more varied sizing grew, side-seam construction eventually became the industry norm.
To faithfully recreate the authentic spirit of that era, we developed our 【TUBE T-shirt】 series.
Crafted from 16-count BD (Open-End) yarn, these shirts feature a seamless tubular body and a distinctive faded texture achieved through pigment dyeing.
This season, the series has been renewed with a new silhouette: "Roomy."
By utilizing the largest diameter tubular knitting machines currently operational in Japan, we’ve created a relaxed, effortless fit that honors traditional craftsmanship while meeting modern styling needs.

"Wide Silhouette Crafted with Japan’s Largest Diameter Tubular Knit"

The "Tubular Body"—constructed without side seams—was a hallmark of inexpensive, mass-produced T-shirts during the era of high production and consumption.
Because it was highly efficient for printing, it became the standard specification for American-made tees of that time.
Our 【Tube Tee】 series is the result of our obsession with recreating that authentic American atmosphere down to the smallest detail.
The journey began with a search for rare knitting machines capable of producing a seamless tubular body in a modern Wide Silhouette.
To complete the look, each piece undergoes a Pigment Dyeing process, creating a rich, faded texture brimming with vintage character.
For the neckline, we’ve utilized a "Tako-binder" (self-fabric neck tape). This not only preserves the historical aesthetic but also reinforces the collar, preventing it from stretching over time—a thoughtful improvement on the original design.

A seamless tubular body of this magnitude is a rare find indeed. Its airy, relaxed fit makes it an absolute essential for those sweltering summer days.

The fabric is knitted in a seamless 'tubular' shape, which we use exactly as it comes off the machine. Because there are no side seams, the shirt feels incredibly soft against the skin, offering a stress-free wearing experience.

Recreating the spirit of vintage USA tees with crisp 16-count BD yarn. The pigment-dyed fabric offers a beautiful faded look that gets even better over time. Enjoy the unique aging process as the color mellows with every wear.
