Vintage Heavyweight T-Shirt 2 Pack - Indigo Dye

If you've ever stumbled on a thrift store with great vintage t-shirts, you'll notice they tend to have a different feel than a lot of what you see in the t-shirt world today. The weight and the hand have a certain toughness and honesty that sometimes gets lost in more modern examples. As raw denim fans, we've never shied away from the challenge of developing fabric over time. Of earning that softness. This is what drove us to make our new Heavy T-shirt. We wanted to capture the spirit of the tougher t-shirts of earlier days.

Fabric is the star. We use an extra burly, 8oz cotton. It's old school. Heavy and dense, you feel the substance this t-shirt has the second you touch it. The hand feel is also very different. It starts with a touch of coarseness. You have to earn your comfort like raw denim, but over time, it develops into that wonderful blend of weight and suppleness. This special edition gets an indigo yarn dye top with a natural color back to create a classic denim look. A very soft wash helps bring out a brighter blue from the indigo. It's a stunning color that will only improve with time and each wear, just like your favorite pair of denim. The leather patches get an indigo hue when laundered. This T becomes truly yours with time and wear.

As with our Heavyweight Sweatshirt, we let the fabric creator also handle sewing duties to create the quality you have come to expect from us. We start with double stitch binding around the neck. The shoulders are taped, adding effort to the construction but providing an extra structural touch to the garment. Double needle hems finish the sleeves and bottom. The finishing touches are high quality veg tan leather patches. A large format patch goes inside the collar. A small square goes on the bottom hem. The indigo patinas the patches over time. Each will age uniquely over time. This is a t-shirt to take pride in.

These Ts have a relaxed, more old-school fit.

Please note this garment is dyed in small batches. Color variations are to be expected and can vary in tone or hue from batch to batch.
