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 stitching ensure enhanced fit and durability of the finishes.

The high standards of Warehouse & Co. pushed them to seek out the most capable machines to produce these decidedly vintage-looking t-shirts. They settled on a loom from the 1960s, initially used to produce ribbed underwear with thick yarns. This machine allows them to retain all 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 yarn 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, considered too slow and costly, gave way to efficiency and reduced production costs.
