A classic original T-shirt that has been loved for more than 20 years since its founding.
It is an item that can be worn stylishly regardless of age or gender.
Our soft material, which was born as a kids brand, is unique, and we have a very high repeat rate from customers who have worn it once.
【Particular points】
・ Each piece is carefully dyed, and it is finished in the one and only DF original color.
There is a print on the left sleeve, and the one-point design gives a more stylish impression.
・ It is characterized by the unique softness of the yarn, so you can feel the ultimate comfort.
The yarn is custom-made and uses DF original tents that are slowly knitted on an old-style hanging knitting machine.
・ Although it is slightly thick, it is breathable, and it is a versatile item that can be used as a top in spring and summer, and as an inner layer in autumn and winter. The fabric is durable, and you can enjoy the change over time without losing its shape even if you wear it for many years.
[Thoughts on making clothes]
DEVISE FACTORY's clothes are made with completely original recipes that combine the vintage of the 1950~60s with modern methods.
Based on the experience of the co-founder, who is a former buyer of second-hand clothing, from vintage, the unique surface of old clothes, the way it rubs, the fading, and the unevenness of the yarn itself, which are no longer made in modern times, are reproduced by specifying the number and combination of uneven cotton yarns with unevenness, and knitting the fabric with an old-style knitting machine to recreate the unique atmosphere of that time.
In addition, we use methods that are not often seen today, such as sturdiness and thickness of reinforcement because it was customary to use one thing for a long time.
However, we are not trying to recreate everything that was done at that time. Even in modern things, we use parts that we think are better.
For example, the fabric setting is thinner for vintage T-shirts, but I want to give it a more solid hand-held feel, so I made it thicker. The elasticity should also be softer, and if washed, the stretch will return and the shape will remain stable.
It's not the idea of completely reproducing the things of that time.
While cherishing the good details and textures of the past, it is not too close to the era, and has the elegance and hand-knitting feel of a knit.
[Thoughts on the production area]
DEVISE FACTORY'S PRODUCTS ARE LABELED AS "MADE IN CHINA" AND "MADE IN JAPAN".
The hanging knitting machine we use is an old machine from 100 years ago, and there are very few factories in Japan that are actually in operation.
At the time of the establishment of the brand, I was looking for a production supplier, but I couldn't find one, and in the meantime, I met a factory in Shanghai, China, where I obtained an American hanging knitting machine at a discount, and I was able to ask for production. For more than 20 years since our founding, we have repeated development and have been able to finish it as a material to the present.
NOT MADE IN CHINA FOR MASS PRODUCTION.
MADE IN CHINA is the result of seeking technology using an old-fashioned hanging knitting machine (made in the USA).
Currently, we use a hanging knitting machine made in the USA and a hanging knitting machine made in Japan separately according to the characteristics of the fabric, but we are not particular about the production area.
"If I can make good clothes, I want to go anywhere in the world."
We continue to pursue good clothes with the policy of =MADE BY ~, which is more comfortable to wear because it is a device factory than MADE IN ~ in the country of production.
