Description

The Lot. 030 Charcoal Lambswool Cashmere A.R.C. Watch Cap from Taiga Takahashi T.T is inspired by an American Red Cross knitting guide from 1917 for U.S. citizens to hand-knit and contribute to front-line soldiers during the WWI and WWII war efforts. This ARC Watch Cap is a medium-weight, cardigan stitch knit from a yarn blended with 80% Merino Lambswool and 20% White Cashmere for a rare, soft, and comfortable fall through spring accoutrement. Reimagined from yesteryear with refinement, this knit was exclusively developed for T.T to achieve the hand-made qualities of a US Military WWII cap. Guided by the Applied Archaeology ethos and Taiga Takahashi’s archives, this piece resurrects a relic of the past to serve as an artifact of the future by blending aesthetic principles rooted in Japanese concepts of craftsmanship and beauty. Paying homage to the antique original, the Lot. 030 ARC Watch Cap features finished edges, a fully fashioned interior, and seamless hand-linked construction that allows wearing versatility from cuffed to un-cuffed with an innovative design using old-world techniques with exquisite precision. Step into the future with a timeless vision of the past with Taiga Takahashi.
