Classic flying wheel design
Based on the flying wheel design that is symbolic of Flathead, it has been redesigned into a flying wheel with a classic feel and ribbon tires.
A flying wheel print is also featured on the right sleeve, creating a soft, rounded and pop look.
Special stitching that prevents the neck from stretching: "3 needles, 1 removed"
The neck sewing technique is one of the biggest features of Flat Head T-shirts.
Inspired by the sewing of actual vintage T-shirts, the unique and improved "3-needle, 1-off® sewing" uses thick 20-count cotton thread around the neck, which is prone to stretching.
Furthermore, by sewing the T-shirt with a total of three stitches - two on the rib and one on the body, we have taken advantage of our sewing technique and the properties of cotton to create a T-shirt that is less likely to stretch around the neck.
Even with years of wear, the neckline will not stretch easily, allowing you to enjoy your favorite design for a long time.
A rare circular knitting machine still in existence in Japan
The fabric is knitted using what are called circular knitting machines from the 1960s.
The knitting machines of that time were capable of producing consistent quality, but they have become rare, and there are only a few craftsmen left who are able to maintain them.
The THC series is made of a thick yarn of 14. To knit with this thick yarn, strong needles are required, so we use special needles imported from Germany to create a strong body.
Prints with great detail
The print uses water-based rubber printing, which does not bleed and has good color development.
The print faithfully reproduces every single one of the spokes of the wheel and the fine lines in the ribbon.
With years of wear, it will gradually develop a cracked appearance, giving it the charm of a vintage T-shirt.
