The Lot 4601 from Warehouse & Co. is the quintessential basic t-shirt. Designed in a 100% cotton jersey, woven with low tension from yarns with pronounced irregularity, it features a classic, short, and boxy silhouette. The reinforced collar opening and overlock seam stitching ensure enhanced durability and finish.

The high standards of Warehouse & Co. pushed them to seek out the best machines capable of producing these distinctly vintage-looking t-shirts. Their choice was a 1960s loom, originally used to make 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 so-called "Loopwheeler" machines weave cotton with very low thread tension, thus 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 commonly used. These machines were the standard from the 1920s to the 1960s, until these manufacturing methods, considered too slow and expensive, gave way to efficiency and reduced production costs.
