LOT 616 TEE SHIRT IN IVORY PAINT

Based on the Lot. 601 Tee Shirt, one of Taiga Takahashi’s iconic items, the Lot. 616 was reconstructed with sloping shoulders for a better underarm fit. The jersey fabric has a texture reminiscent of hand-spun yarn. The yarn is a modern variation of threads spun by “Gara-bou”, spinning machines invented in Japan during the Meiji era (1868 – 1912). By slowing down the spinning process, the yarn captures air to develop a light and gentle texture. The natural unevenness in the shade is achieved by blending Superior Pima cotton with waste cotton. The Ivory Paint colorway is a paint process based on the coveralls that Taiga Takahashi wore during his studio work as an artist. 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
