TEKLA

This crew neck sweatshirt is produced from a custom-developed fleece based on yarns analyzed from an original vintage garment. The outer yarn is spun slightly thicker for durability, while the reverse is finished in a semi-fleece structure that recreates the dry, textured feel of archival examples. The design follows classic specifications, with a short body length, a clean crew neckline, and sleeves set to a moderate thickness rather than oversized, maintaining balance between comfort and function. The fit leaves just enough room to allow layering without bulk. Each piece is hand-processed by craftsmen to reproduce irregular fading, wear, and surface distressing in line with vintage sweatshirts, resulting in subtle variations from garment to garment. Rubbing, scratches, and uneven coloration are part of the intended character, and over time the fabric will continue to shift, with some colors showing reduced light fastness and gradual discoloration.

Vintage Sweatshirt

The Vintage Half Zip Sweatshirt is constructed from a fleece developed by analyzing yarns from an original archival piece. The outer thread is spun slightly thicker for a dry hand, while the reverse side is finished in a semi-fleece structure, giving the fabric a lived-in, vintage appearance. The design is true to period specifications, featuring a short body length, moderately thick sleeves, and a rounded silhouette created by the absence of shoulder seams. A half-zip closure completes the utilitarian detail, staying faithful to the construction methods of the original style. The fit allows ease of layering without excess bulk. Each sweatshirt is hand-finished by craftsmen, reproducing irregular fading, abrasion, and tonal variation to echo the natural aging process of vintage garments. As a result, every piece is unique, with differences in wear patterns, rubbing, and surface scratches. The dyeing process further enhances this look, though some colors may have reduced light fastness and can gradually discolor over time.

Vintage Half Zip Sweatshirt

The Silk Nep Type A-1 Jacket is made from a distinctive twill that combines extra-long staple cotton with silk neps to replicate the irregular texture of vintage materials. The warp is constructed from loosely twisted double yarns of uneven extra-long cotton, while the weft blends softly twisted cotton and silk nep yarns, creating a fabric that is both substantial and softly textured. The cloth is woven with a relaxed density, then further softened through finishing to achieve a light, airy hand. Its aged character is enhanced through sulfur dyeing, producing natural fading and tonal variation, with the twisted yarns and silk neps adding subtle shadows and depth to the surface. The interior is finished with a thick cotton twill lining that retains natural residue. Functional elements include a Riri zipper and Fiocchi fastenings, while the design is defined by steeply sloping shoulders, a compact collar, and a naturally draped silhouette.

Silk Nep Type A-1 Jacket

Jacket cut from a 4oz denim woven with sulfurized, cheese-dyed, air-spun straight yarn for both warp and weft. The yarn core has a subtle gray cast, giving the fabric a natural depth and the look of vintage denim with a resistance to fading over time. It is detailed with original iron tack buttons that will slowly patinate, darken or rust as they age.
The design takes its cue from the vintage 507XX, but adapts its proportions to resolve common points of tension. The armholes have been lowered and the sleeve width slightly expanded, creating a more balanced fit with greater comfort in movement. The sleeve length is deliberately extended relative to the body, tuned to better suit a Japanese body type. Each piece is finished with hand-applied processing, so variations in texture, color, and wear are unique to every garment.

2nd Type Black Denim Jacket

The Vintage US Navy Denim Jacket is produced from a custom-woven 13oz denim that replicates the uneven character of early 20th century textiles. The fabric uses a thick weft yarn woven at high density, while the warp incorporates cotton waste to recreate the nep texture associated with 1930s spinning technology. The design references a rare Navy denim jacket of the era, adapted into a boxy shirt-like form with a shortened, compact collar. Wide rolled stitching adds to the jacket’s distinctive structure, with seams showing subtle variations in expression. Details include greenish-gray thread, shirt-style buttonholes, and plastic buttons reworked in the manner of original iron tuck buttons. The silhouette is short in length, recalling a trucker jacket with added room, featuring a pronounced shoulder slope and slightly curved barrel sleeves that create a three-dimensional fit. Each jacket is hand-finished through a repeated process to achieve a vintage expression, with variations in fading, texture, and surface damage that make each piece unique. Over time, the tuck buttons will continue to change, darkening or rusting with wear.
