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

The high standards of Warehouse & Co. drove them to seek out the best machines capable of producing these distinctly vintage-looking t-shirts. They settled on a 1960s loom, initially used for producing ribbed underwear with thick yarn. This machine allows them to preserve the natural irregularity of the cotton threads while combining a unique texture with undeniable durability. The so-called "Loopwheeler" machines weave the cotton with very low thread tension, thus producing a unique, superior quality fabric for an incredibly comfortable final product. 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.
