There’s a lot to be said about manufacturing ethics in the clothing industry. Fast fashion has reached a point of pure chaos, but thankfully our niche is full of makers who a) make smaller amounts of better clothes, and b) use mindful production techniques. Slotting into point b) today is Japan Blue, who have produced some high-quality T-shirts using recycled denim.
Made from yarn-dyed knitted fabric that contains 50% recycled cotton denim yarns, this tee is a product that reduces fabric waste and comes in a range of beautifully speckled hues. We’re expecting this fabric to evolve with wear and subsequent washes, much like your favorite jeans. And thanks to the trio of indigo tones available, it’s easy to pair these Japan Blues tees with any shade of pants, from crispy raw selvedge denim to battered, faded jeans or even chinos/fatigues.
Each Tee is crafted in Kojima, Japan, and available at Red Cast Heritage Co. for $85.
