Sunray Haleiwa S/S Tee

The Sunray T-Shirt is crafted with meticulous care using vintage Japanese circular knitting machines and 300GSM heavyweight low-count cotton jersey fabric. It combines a traditional boxy cut with a classic crew neck design. Each piece takes over 1.5 hours to complete, ensuring durability and a luxuriously soft feel. Showcasing a classic 1950s style, it is the ideal choice for those seeking high-quality, sustainable casual wear.

Materials and Quality :<br>Made with 300GSM heavyweight cotton jersey (14 or 18 low count yarn), which is thicker and more durable than the commonly available 180GSM. Slowly produced on an antique circular knitting machine (1 meter/hour), it delivers a luxuriously soft touch and unique texture, showcasing top-tier Japanese craftsmanship and sustainable value.

Cut Design <br />Traditional Boxy cut, slightly shorter and more square than modern cuts, providing a comfortable and natural silhouette. The sleeve angles recreate classic 1950s proportions, suitable for various body types and casual occasions, showcasing a timeless retro style.

Neckline Design : A traditional crew neck design with a classic rib construction for a sturdy and durable look (the Makaha version is patented). This balances with the heavyweight fabric, preventing deformation and providing the classic fit and visual appeal of a 1950s T-shirt.

Durable construction <br />Made in Japan, each piece requires more than 1.5 hours of handcrafting, combining seamless loopwheel technology, low-count heavyweight fabric and reinforced details to ensure long-term durability and maintain shape, softness and color even after multiple washes.

Washing Instructions <br />We recommend a gentle machine wash in cold water, washing light and dark colors separately to prevent fading. Tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry. Avoid using bleach or enzyme cleaners to maintain the substantial feel and luxurious touch of heavyweight jersey fabric.
