Description

The Lot. 326 Yakusugi Dyed Chino Cloth US Army M-35 Pullover from Taiga Takahashi T.T is inspired by an archive WWI US Army issue that was remade in dark brown versions during the Great Depression for the Civilian Conservation Corps. This M-35 Pullover is crafted from a 12 oz. Yakusugi Dyed Twill Chino Cloth, developed and loomed exclusively for T.T in Japan, and is hand-dyed and washed for an authentic finish and a luxurious, structured drape. Reimagined from yesteryear with refinement, this piece is garment mud-bath dyed with natural Yakusugi cedar wood extracts from protected, millennia-old trees, making it one-of-a-kind and destined 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 US Army Pullover has a directional military-workwear fit with set-in sleeves, a point collar with a 3-button front popover placket, and buttoned cuffs with custom reproduction uncoated iron buttons. Innovating designs from the past using old-world techniques with exquisite precision, the Lot. 326 Pullover features oversized patch front pockets for carrying tools and devices, and is single- and double-needle constructed with felled seams and bartack reinforcement throughout. Step into the future with a timeless vision of the past with Taiga Takahashi.
