The Lot 4601 from Warehouse & Co. is the quintessential basic t-shirt. Designed in a 100% cotton jersey, woven at low tension from yarns with pronounced irregularities, it features a classic, short, and boxy silhouette. The reinforced collar opening and overlock seams ensure enhanced fit and increased durability of the finishes.

The high standards of Warehouse & Co. pushed them to seek out the most capable machines for producing these distinctly vintage-looking t-shirts. They settled on a 1960s loom, originally used to make ribbed underwear with thick yarn. This machine allows them to preserve the natural irregularity of the cotton threads and combine a unique texture with undeniable durability. The so-called "Loopwheeler" machines weave cotton with very low yarn tension, thereby producing a unique and superior quality fabric for an incredibly comfortable final product. There are only about 400 of these machines left in Wakayama, Japan, and only half are in regular use. These machines were the norm between the 1920s and 1960s, until these manufacturing methods, considered too slow and costly, gave way to efficiency and reduced production costs.
