The Lot 4601 from Warehouse & Co. is the quintessential basic t-shirt. Designed in a 100% cotton jersey, woven at low tension from highly irregular yarns, it features a classic short and boxy silhouette. The reinforced collar opening and overlock stitching ensure enhanced hold and durability of the finishes. The high standards of Warehouse & Co. pushed them to seek out the best machines capable of producing these distinctly 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. "Loopwheeler" machines weave cotton with very low yarn tension, thus producing a unique and superior quality fabric for an incredibly comfortable final result. There are only about 400 of these machines left in Wakayama, Japan, and only half are commonly used. These machines were the standard between the 1920s and 1960s, until these manufacturing methods, considered too slow and costly, gave way to efficiency and reduced production costs. These t-shirts will undergo slight shrinkage upon washing before regaining their original shape when worn due to relaxation.
