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 irregularities, 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 most capable machines for producing these decidedly vintage-looking t-shirts. Their choice fell on a 1960s loom initially used for making ribbed underwear with thick yarns. This machine allows them to maintain all the natural irregularities 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, high-quality fabric for an incredibly comfortable final product. Only about 400 such machines remain in Wakayama, Japan, and only half are commonly used. These machines were the standard from the 1920s to the 1960s, until these manufacturing methods, deemed too slow and costly, gave way to efficiency and reduced production costs.
