The Lot 4601 from Warehouse & Co. is the quintessential basic t-shirt. Crafted from 100% cotton jersey, woven under low tension from yarns with pronounced irregularity, 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. have driven them to seek out the best machines capable of producing these t-shirts with a distinctly vintage look. They settled on a 1960s loom, originally used to produce 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. "Loopwheeler" machines weave the 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 such 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, deemed too slow and costly, gave way to efficiency and reduced production costs.
