Organic Cotton S/S Oversized Tee
Material: 100% COTTON
*Model height 182cm / Wearing size O/S
Made from high-density jersey fabric knitted from organic cotton yarn, this piece highlights the natural, undyed color created by the material itself.
Based on Graphpaper’s standard S/S Oversized Tee silhouette and produced using a loopwheel knitting process, the fabric is developed with carefully controlled organic cotton yarns to enhance volume and resilience. The result is a soft yet structured feel, designed for long-term comfort.
*As undyed organic cotton yarn is used, small cotton fibers or particles may be present. Each piece carries its own subtle character.

Organic Cotton
TRACEABILITY
Fabric :TAISHOBOSEKI Industries, Ltd.
The raw material is GOTS-certified organic cotton, grown by contracted farms under sustainable conditions. It is spun into two-ply yarn and used consistently across the face, middle, and backing threads.
Organic cotton is an agricultural product, cultivated like grains or vegetables. After harvesting, small amounts of natural matter such as fragments of leaves, stems, or seeds can remain in the cotton. These particles are not completely removed during spinning and may appear on the surface of the fabric.
In conventional production, bleaching is used to achieve a uniform white, removing these traces. Here, the fabric is left undyed and unbleached, preserving the cotton’s natural color. As a result, small specks may be visible on the surface. This is not a defect, but a characteristic of the raw material. With repeated wear and washing, these particles gradually become less noticeable, and the texture of the fabric continues to evolve over time.
Knitting｜Body :kanekichi_industries Ltd.
Once the industry standard, loopwheel machines disappeared with the shift toward mass production. Inefficient by modern standards, most were discarded. Kanekichi chose to preserve them, continuing to produce fabric the traditional way.
Knitted slowly, the fabric develops a soft, natural texture. With wear and washing, it gradually evolves, gaining character over time—qualities that cannot be replicated through efficiency-driven production.
Today, Kanekichi’s loopwheel fabrics are highly regarded worldwide for their rarity and distinctive quality.
Knitting｜Rib :KOMECHU Co., Ltd.
Around 300 machines line the factory floor, each with decades of use. Producing only a few meters per hour, they slowly knit tubular rib fabric with careful attention and time.
Every machine is maintained and adjusted daily by skilled hands. The process is guided not by efficiency, but by precision and intuition.
This manual approach creates subtle irregularities and small variations that give the fabric its unique texture and depth.
