T.T's iconic LOT.601 Tee Shirt.
The simplest design – the tube-shaped fabric, cut in three parts for the neck and arms and attached with sleeves – has absolutely no room for wastefulness. While it looks similar to what we daily wear today, it is something totally different in nature. Details like shoulders without slopes, boatneck-like neckline, and double neck ribbing to prevent stretching are signatures of designs from that time.The tubular jersey cotton was manufactured by a hanging knitting machine in Wakayama. The use of American cotton achieves a dry, unique texture in the fabric. Hanging knitting machines were introduced to Japan during Taisho era (1912 – 1926). The one in Wakayama is now the world's only machine from that period still in operation. While it lacks efficiency because it can only knit a meter per hour, the slow process creates unique texture with moderate unevenness as if the surrounding air is woven into the texture.
NATURAL DYED BURGUNDY uses natural "akane (madder)" dye. Akane, one of the oldest dyes dating back to the Yayoi period, has been used to produce red yarns in Japan. T.T achieved a deeper red by adjusting the dye composition.
MUD DYED BROWN and SUMI DYED BLACK are carefully dyed one by one using "mud dye" and "Indian ink dye", the traditional Japanese dyeing techniques. Unique expressions characterize the craftwork, as each sweatshirt looks different from others.HAND DRAWN SUMI was Inspired by marbling works created with sumi ink by Kamisoe, a karakami workshop based in Kyoto, we hand-painted our original tubular jersey with sumi ink to capture the subtle nuances of brushstrokes crafted by a Yuzen dyeing artisan. Each piece is truly one of a kind, as the hand- drawn brushstrokes and variations in shading differ slightly from item to item.
