The Lot 4601 from Warehouse & Co. is the quintessential basic t-shirt. Crafted from 100% cotton jersey, woven at low tension from yarns with pronounced irregularity, it features a classic short and boxy silhouette. The reinforced collar opening and overlock stitch seams ensure enhanced durability and finish. The high standards of Warehouse & Co. led them to seek out the most capable machines to produce these decidedly vintage-looking t-shirts. They chose a loom from the 1960s, originally used to produce ribbed underwear with thick yarns. This machine allows them to preserve the natural irregularity of the cotton threads and combine a unique texture with undeniable durability. The "Loopwheeler" machines weave the cotton with very low thread tension, thus producing a unique and superior quality fabric for an incredibly comfortable final result. Only about 400 of these machines remain in Wakayama, Japan, and only half are commonly used. These machines were the standard between the 1920s and 1960s, until these manufacturing methods, deemed too slow and costly, gave way to efficiency and reduced production costs. These t-shirts will experience slight shrinkage after washing but will regain their original shape when worn due to relaxation.
