Rib Knit Short Sleeves

This is based on the classic knit short sleeve shirt from the 1940s.

Since the 1920s, crew-necked undershirts have gradually become more multifunctional and used as everyday clothing, and people have gradually become less resistant to wearing undershirts outside. At that time, crew-necked shirts had deep necklines, fitted cuts, no sleeves, and were mainly made of pure wool or cotton. In the 1940s, the necklines became smaller, the sleeves were shorter than those of today's T-shirts, and while maintaining the fit, various pockets were designed on the chest, and this style became mainstream. Also, wool materials disappeared from crew-necked shirts, and cotton materials were mainly used, which became thicker.

This piece is based on a classic knit T-shirt from the 1940s. The left chest pocket is trimmed with color-coordinated ribbing, giving the whole piece a three-dimensional look. In order to reproduce the texture of the 1940s, this model is heavier and has a smaller neckline. The tightly twisted cotton yarn has a fresh and breathable texture like linen, and does not stick to the skin even when sweaty, making it more comfortable and gentle on the skin than linen. In addition, the 60-count yarn is smoother and firmer to the touch, has strong drape, and its strength and abrasion resistance are not found in ordinary cotton yarn. The hem has been redesigned with ribbing to give a visually more refined impression.
