Lot.601 Tee Shirt Usuzumi

The 601 Tee Shirt from Taiga Takahashi traces the form of the original American undergarment T-shirt, a piece developed for wear beneath military uniforms and built around purely functional, rational design. The construction follows the traditional 'marudo' tubular body, with openings cut only for the neck and sleeves, maintaining a straight shoulder line, a boat-neck-like collar, and a double-layered neck rib. The tubular jersey is slowly knitted on a rare loopwheel machine in Wakayama, the only region in the world where these machines remain in operation, producing roughly a metre of fabric an hour and yielding a soft, airy hand with quiet irregularity. Finished in Usuzumi, each piece is dyed by hand, lending every garment a singular expression.
