Description

The Lot. 111 Charcoal Printed Check Twill Flannel Work Shirt from Taiga Takahashi T.T is inspired by 1930s workwear pieces, combining elements from Civilian Conservation Corps uniforms and railroad engineer pocket configurations. This Work Shirt is crafted from a 7 oz. Twill Woven Flannel loomed exclusively for T.T in Japan, using deeply dyed yarns spun from luxurious cotton. Reimagined from yesteryear with refinement, the irregular check pattern is uniquely garment-dyed and sumi ink-printed on the face, then washed to create a worn fade that will continue to evolve with the wearer. Guided by the Applied Archaeology ethos and the Taiga Takahashi archives, this piece resurrects a relic of the past to serve as an artifact of the future, blending aesthetic principles rooted in Japanese concepts of craftsmanship and beauty. Paying homage to the antique original, the Work Shirt has a directional, functional draped fit and detailing, including a curved back yoke, a point collar, a buttoned chest pocket with pencil slot, a flap-front buttoned chest lighter pocket, buttoned gusseted cuffs, and is finished with custom Japanese mother-of-pearl buttons. Innovating designs from the past using old-world techniques with exquisite precision, the Lot. 111 Shirt is constructed with triple-stitched, felled seams and chainstitched construction, with inseam run-off and bartack reinforcements throughout. Step into the future with a timeless vision of the past with Taiga Takahashi.
