Refined to perfection, this is the new T-Shirt from the Japanese Master brand Strike Gold. Premium slub cotton yarns have been used for extraordinary softness and texture. Classic fit. Minimal styling. No fussy details. No side seams, impeccable construction.
This Loopwheeled ("Turi-Ami") t-shirt is knitted in the Japanese Kanekichi Wakayama workshop, one of only two workshops in the world still keeping in operation after more than 100 years the tubular textile production machines that allow seamless garments to be made. The only tension used in the knitting process is gravity, the end result being a knitted fabric with virtually no inbuilt stress or tension. A loopwheel machine rotates at just 24 revolutions per minute, a modern knitting machine in excess of 10 times that. The result is a very soft but strong fabric, and the best tee material made today.
It features a triple-stitch reinforced collar, a superior-quality detail only seen in high-end Japanese brands. That will avoid collar stretching, resulting in a built to last masterpiece that it's worth every penny.
This is a true wardrobe staple that works just as well with denim or a jacket. We believe it is the perfect T-Shirt.
The Strike Gold is undoubtedly one of the benchmark brands when we speak of Japanese denim. Established in Kojima, in Okayama Prefecture, the Hamamoto family has been focusing all its efforts for more than 10 years on producing denim, sweatshirts, shirts and belts of the very highest quality one can find today. Their denim fabrics, unique in the world for their texture, composition, incredible irregularity, stiffness, roughness and character, delight denim devotees around the planet.
