Introducing the extraordinary Ultimate Pima Tsuriami T-Shirt, meticulously crafted from the unique Ultimate Pima cotton, an organically grown extra-long staple cotton variety that represents the pinnacle of quality, accounting for only 1% of total cotton production in the United States.
This remarkable t-shirt is meticulously produced on century-old "Turi-Ami" circular knitting loopwheel machines from the renowned Kanekichi Wakayama workshop in Japan. These vintage machines operate at a leisurely 24 revolutions per minute, using gravity to create fabric without stress or tension. This deliberate pace results in exceptionally soft yet incredibly robust fabric, offering a unique vintage charm beyond the reach of modern machines.
Each individual t-shirt is constructed for longevity, with a substantial fabric weight of 231 grams per square meter (equivalent to 6.8 ounces per square yard) by traditional standards. Despite its weight, the fabric maintains a compact yet luxuriously smooth feel, becoming even softer with each wash and wear. This ensures that it ages gracefully alongside you, providing both durability and comfort.
Despite being a Japanese brand, we find the sizing of Wonder Looper garments to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American t-shirts, you'll find a suitable fit with this piece in size M. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
Wonder Looper originated from the shared passion and inventive minds of founders Risa Saito and Bahzad Trinos. Dissatisfied with generic blank t-shirts that didn't match their artwork's quality, they embarked on a quest for something extraordinary. Wonder Looper is dedicated to crafting exceptional garments that tell stories through rare fabrics and unparalleled quality. Their ambition extends beyond being the best in knitwear; they aim to elevate the entire industry.
