Details
During the post-war economic boom, Italian collar shirts were popular at resorts. Characterized by the opening curvier than open collar shirts, it was a perfect item to look relaxed when T-shirts were still not part of the resort culture. The shirt, made from linen yarn for the warp and a blend of linen, ramie, and cotton slub yarn for the weft, is finished with natural washer finish for a textured look. The combination of different count yarns and fabrics creates uneven shrinkage, giving the fabric a unique texture that manifests after garment dyeing. The charcoal dye is a seasonal color, and is garment dyed with powdered “Binchotan charcoal“ in small kilns to obtain a unique texture.
T.T is a unisex brand based in New York and Kyoto. Taiga Takahashi, the founder and designer, underwent an education that merged Japanese culture with Western thought. The brand concept is "resurrecting relics of the past to unearth artifacts of the future". Believing that the true value of craftsmanship already exists in history, the fabrics, sewing and details of time-survived garments are researched from an archaeological perspective, reinterpreted in a new way and bring it back to life in the modern age. T.T. is a creative project that creates timeless garments that are inspired by the founder's collection of vintage apparel and created by Japanese artisans.
