LOT 506 DOUBLE BREASTED CARDIGAN IN BROWN

This cardigan is inspired by an American sweater of the 1910s. A photo, presumably from the United States in the 1910s, features two men wearing newsboy caps and collarless double-breasted cardigans with two rows of buttons. While these details are typical features of French workwear, the photo itself was taken in the United States. We extracted as many visual details as possible, while redesigning finer specifications and the overall silhouette based on our interpretation as a brand.

This style introduces a newly developed knit pattern inspired by a cardigan worn by German farmers around the 1940s. The fabric is oriented vertically using what is traditionally the crosswise grain, so the knit edge forms the hem, one of its defining characteristics. The yarn blends silk noil and British wool and has a dry hand feel.

44% silk, 34% wool.
Hand wash, line dry.
Made in Japan.

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 brought back to life in the modern age. T.T. is a creative project that creates timeless garments inspired by the founder's collection of vintage apparel, and created by Japanese artisans.
