【Pigment Dye】"Tube" S/S Print T-shirt【7th annual BooZE】BR-26302

"Reviving the Vintage Silhouette"

A defining characteristic of true vintage tees is the seamless "tubular body" construction. Originally engineered in the USA for efficient mass production because it eliminated the need for side seams, the tubular specification was the undisputed standard for classic American tees. Over time, as consumer demands shifted toward a wider variety of modern fits, side-seamed shirts became the norm. To authentically resurrect that golden era, we created our 【TUBE T-shirt】 series—crafted from rugged 16-count BD (open-end) spun yarn, woven into a seamless tubular body, and finished with a rich, pigment-dyed fade.
Envisioned as a retro event piece for a neighborhood tavern, this unique graphic features a lighthearted, comical rendition of Frankenstein acting as the pub’s official mascot.

"MAY I BE FRANK?"

Frankenstein is the legendary character from Mary Shelley’s classic Gothic novel, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. While pop culture has universally cemented "Frankenstein" as the monster itself, few actually know that the creature in the novel remains nameless—and that Frankenstein is actually the young scientist who created it, Victor Frankenstein. Styled as a rare event tee from a beloved neighborhood pub, this design features a brilliant, tongue-in-cheek pun with the phrase "MAY I BE FRANK?". To deliver an authentic heritage feel, we tailored the print finishes by colorway: a weathered washout print for White, and a rich pigment print for Black and Navy, ensuring a beautifully aged character specific to each hue.

To ensure it stands up to heavy wear, we’ve finished the collar with a clean yet rugged binder neck specification.

The silhouette features a well-measured, relaxed fit that works perfectly as a standalone piece or as a base layer under a shirt or cardigan.

Constructed using the traditional "Tubular Body" method, this piece features a seamless torso with no side stitching. This elimination of seams ensures a stress-free wearing experience, allowing for natural movement and unrivaled comfort all day long.

To faithfully reproduce the feel of classic American-made tees, this fabric is crafted from 16-count BD (open-end) yarn, delivering a signature crisp and dry touch. Except for the classic white, all colorways are treated with a specialized pigment dye, capturing that distinct, faded character unique to vintage clothing. As you wear and wash it over time, the dye will gradually and beautifully recede—allowing you to experience a rich, personalized aging process that transforms this piece into a truly one-of-a-kind garment.
