Faded Symbolism, Built to Endure
Each tee in this collection is inspired by traditional Japanese tattoo art — from dragons in flight to koi fish swimming upstream, from fierce Oni demons to solemn Hannya masks. These designs aren’t pulled from archives — they’re hand-drawn in-house, printed with high-resolution precision, and placed for maximum visual impact. The result: timeless graphics with cultural weight, worn on fabrics that feel like they've been part of your story for years.
The faded tees are crafted from heavyweight 240gsm organic carded cotton, pigment-dyed for a washed-down appearance and soft texture. This creates a vintage look with subtle shifts in tone, giving each shirt a slightly different, aged finish. The acid-wash tees use 220gsm heavyweight cotton with a stonewashed texture and slightly looser drape. No two are alike — every shirt develops its own visual language, shaped by how the dye interacts with the fabric.
These finishes aren’t gimmicks — they’re part of the storytelling. While the artwork expresses myth and symbolism, the garment itself tells its own tale through broken-in softness and naturally faded tones. Together, they create a harmony of message and material — one visual, one tactile.
Vintage Feel, Modern Streetwear Fit
Fit and construction are just as considered as the art. The faded tees come in a boxy, relaxed silhouette with dropped shoulders and structure, perfect for streetwear layering. The acid-wash style leans more into drape and softness, with a looser, more fluid shape that gives off an effortless edge. Both feature double-needle hems, side-seamed construction, and a preshrunk finish to ensure lasting form and comfort.
These aren’t thrifted blanks or mass-market vintage reprints — they’re built from the ground up with purpose. They feel like something you’ve owned for years, but with a construction that holds up far beyond fast fashion. Every seam, every stitch, and every fade is deliberate.
Wear the Past Forward
The idea behind this collection is simple: make something that feels lived-in, but speaks to the present. Whether you’re wearing it solo, layering it under a hoodie, or styling it with one of our oversized sweatshirts or tanks — these tees hold space for identity, for story, for statement.
They evolve with wear. They deepen in tone. They soften with time. And with each fade, they become more yours.
These are Vintage Japanese T-Shirts — not because they’re old, but because they’re made to last and made to mean something.
