This sweatshirt harks back to the roots of American sportswear before the 1950s, when synthetic materials weren't mainstream. It's like the LOT.601 T-shirt, with direct cutting lines and a flat shape. Details like V gussets, which are added to the front and back of the neck to stop sweat, are rediscovered by reconstructing earlier production processes. The tubular jersey cotton is made on a hanging knitting machine in Wakayama using American cotton, giving the fabric a dry and unique texture. Hanging knitting machines were introduced to Japan during the Taisho era (1912 - 1926), and the one in Wakayama is the world's only remaining machine from that period still in operation. Although it's slow, knitting only a meter per hour, this creates a unique texture with a touch of unevenness, as if the surrounding air is woven into it. Subtle nuances are used to create a beautiful, gradual color change. Inspired by Rakuchanwan's ceramic glaze technique, three colors of dye are applied at different times to produce an iridescent gloss on the surface, resulting in a unique and uneven tone that's distinct from ordinary uneven dyeing. Each piece offers a visual treat with its one-of-a-kind shade.
