17/-ROUND SHAPE DYED TEE "LAYERS"

A graphic tee that visualizes the meaning and essence born from the layering of things, based on the theme of "LAYERS". It expresses the idea that multiple layers such as time, process, and interpretation exist within something that appears simple at first glance, using symbolic motifs and repeating compositions. This piece affirms the act of deciphering layers itself, rather than simple simplification or immediate understanding.

Material

A thick gauge jersey made from open-end yarn, commonly used for casual wear. It features a dry, textured feel, achieved with Japanese-made round body fabric. The seamless round body construction provides a natural fit and classic appearance.

Processing

Garment dyeing is performed in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, an area known for its processing technology. The WHITE version has a light finish, with clear lines and color overlays in the graphic. The BLACK version has a deep hue created by dyeing and washing, adding depth to the contrast with the print. As it is worn, the fabric and print will gradually mature, adding further layers to its character.

Silhouette

Designed with a round body using traditional circular knitting machines. It has a relaxed silhouette with a moderate width, naturally enhancing the graphic. The neckline features a stable ribbed design, prioritizing balance for everyday wear.

Background Story

The graphic visually represents "layers" by combining repeating lines and organic motifs. The contrast between an orderly structure and natural objects encompasses multiple perspectives, such as artificiality and nature, and thought and sensation. This product encapsulates the very process of meaning accumulating within a single T-shirt.
