Hello everyone!
This is Hasegawa from the select shop GANKO Takasaki.
It’s definitely still T-shirt season, isn’t it?
So today, I’d like to introduce to you the ultimate T-shirt from OLD JOE.
【デザイン】
・親子バインダーネックのディテールは古い時代のスポーツウェアがインスピレーション
・胸ポケットは底にマチをに配しアップデート
・オリジナルで編みたてるマテリアルは、 ドライタッチで硬めの質感が特徴の空紡糸を用いるためプリミティブな表情と型崩れしにくい耐久性を持ち、吸湿性も高く即乾性にすぐれている
・昔ながらの丸胴になった身頃は古き良き表情をしていて、シームレスで快適に着用可能
【素材】
・空気紡績糸は、空気圧で繊維が撚り合わさった構造を持つ天竺
・吸湿性が高く速乾性に優れ、空紡糸を引き揃えて度目を詰めて編むことで、度目が詰まりながらも軽く、ドライタッチでオールシーズン着用可能な素材
・「オープンエンド糸」を使用し、ラフ・タフさやドライタッチな質感やムラ感が特徴
[Design]
The parent-child binder neck detail is inspired by vintage-era sportswear
The chest pocket is updated with a gusset at the bottom for added depth and functionality
The original fabric is knitted using open-end yarn, which has a dry, firm texture. It provides a primitive appearance, excellent durability that resists distortion, and high moisture absorption with quick-drying properties
The body is constructed with a classic tubular knit (no side seams), offering a nostalgic look and a comfortable, seamless wearing experience
[Material]
Made from jersey fabric using air-spun yarn, which is twisted using air pressure, creating a durable structure
Highly absorbent and quick-drying, the densely knitted open-end yarn gives a light, dry-touch fabric ideal for all-season wear
The open-end yarn adds a rugged, tough feel with natural irregularities and a dry texture
As for sizing, I’m 175cm and 65kg, and wearing size 40 (L) gives me a comfortable relaxed fit. If you prefer a just-right fit, size 38 (M) would be perfect.
Although the fabric is quite substantial and may look heavy at first glance, the tubular body woven with open-end yarn offers an astonishingly smooth and dry touch.
I personally own this T-shirt as well, and even after repeated washing, the neckline hardly loses its shape—making it without a doubt a T-shirt you can wear for a lifetime.
Over time, the fabric softens and molds itself to your body, becoming a T-shirt that truly fits you.
It’s a top-quality cut-and-sew piece that you can wear in the same spirit as denim.
A true “ultimate T-shirt” that ages beautifully into a vintage piece the more you wear it.
We still have a small amount in stock, so don’t miss the chance to check it out!
