T.T. Work Shirt Indigo
Taiga Takahashi Work Shirt Indigo, premium heritage worker shirt from the archives of Taiga Takahashi.
The item is based on work shirt from the 1930s. Work jackets and shirts from that time often lacked symmetry, as pockets were designed primarily to keep specific items. The seemingly stylistic beauty of details add attraction to the era before the mass production. The size and silhouette adhere to T.T’s standard.
The dobby stripe used in the fabric is inspired by the 1987 fabric book published for custom shirts. T.T.’s original indigo yarn and American cotton yarn dyed in yellowed color were woven on an old-type power loom to produce the fabric. Degreasing washer process was added in the finish to give it a dry touch typical of an aged fabric.
T.T is a unisex brand based in New York and Kyoto. Taiga Hashi, 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 Hashi 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.
