T.T. 30s Knit Sports Jacket Mix Indigo
Taiga Takahashi 30s Knit Sports Jacket Mix Indigo, premium heritage knitted sports jacket from the archives of Taiga Takahashi.
This Knit Cardigan is based on the sports jacket from the 1930s. The short length of the body, boxy silhouette, and ribbing at the hem and cuffs are all faithful to the vintage look. The knitted fabric is made from a mixed yarn of “gima" cotton yarn (cotton yarn processed to a linen-like texture) and silk/linen to create a blended texture. With half-cardigan knitting as its base, a zigzag knitting pattern is effectively used here and there. The original nut buttons are made of natural coconut shell noted for its soft and warm quality.
T.T is a unisex brand based in New York and Kyoto. Taiga Takahashi, the founder and designer, underwent an education that merged Japanese culture with Western thought. After graduating from Central Saint Martins(UAL) in 2017, he established his own brand in New York. The designer himself had collected over thousands of garments since his teens, most of which are American vintage from the 1920s to 1950s, focusing on the pre-mass production era. Believing that the true value of craftsmanship already exists in history, the fabrics, sewing and details of time-survived garments are researched from an archaeological perspective, reinterpreted in a new way and brought back to life in the modern age.
In April 2022, at the young age of 27, Taiga Takahashi embarked on an eternal journey in the middle of his ambition. However, his legacy has been transformed into the thoughts of the team that supported him during his lifetime and continues to be passed down, now and in the future.
