The fabric has a soft feel with a dry texture and a slub feel (uneven weave), which gives off the dry smell of the good old U.S. of A., with the original texture of the yarn. Repeated wear and washing will help the fabric to adapt to the environment and develop a unique cotton texture. The fabric is both firm and comfortable, and has a supple softness.

This T-shirt is knitted on a circular knitting machine (Loopwheel). Circular knitting machines are old-style knitting machines that knit the fabric into a tubular shape. Although the production efficiency is low, it is a rare machine that knits slowly at low speed and does not apply extra tension, allowing the soft texture of the yarn itself to be utilized. Fabrics knitted at low speeds have a warm, rich look and feel, as well as a firm, comfortable fit and supple softness. The most distinctive feature of T-shirts knitted on circular knitting machines is that there are no seams on the sides of the body, creating what is known as a “round body. Currently, high-speed knitting machines that emphasize mass production have become the mainstream, and circular knitting machines are considered an outdated technology. However, T-shirts knitted on circular knitting machines have a unique texture and timeless toughness that cannot be achieved on the latest mass-production-oriented high-speed knitting machines. By knitting on a low-efficiency circular knitting machine, we are able to produce a strong, airy, soft, yet firm round-body fabric. The advantage is that there are no seams in the garment, so the seams do not touch the skin, and the garment is comfortable to wear.

In addition, this product is subjected to a one-wash process. This gives the T-shirt a moderately old and vintage look, creating a T-shirt with a classic impression. Another advantage is that the one-wash process already causes the fabric to shrink, so there is little shrinkage after washing and the size is stable.

The neck ribs (around the collar) are of the durable binder neck 2-needle specification, which has the characteristic of not easily stretching even after repeated wear.
