Studio d'Artisan's Ishikawadai Tubular Jersey T-Shirt pays homage to the tees first produced by Ishikawa Seisakujo in the 1950s. These tees are made of cotton spun on old Japanese ring-spinning machines, which are the oldest of their kind still operating today. These t-shirts have a somewhat dry and starchy feel, rather than a plush and soft hand; although the white version is much softer than the other colors. Compared to more modern ring-spinning machines, these operate at a significantly slower speed and exerts minimal stress on the cotton fibers. The result is a natural uneven texture similar to what you'd get from hand-spun cotton.
Note: Generally runs small, recommend taking at least one size up from your typical American brand size. These t-shirts are cut with an accommodating classic fit - neither too slim nor too relaxed.
