All Sunray T Shirts are Made in Japan. Japanese apparel production is probably the best in the world. This machine can only produce 1m of jersey per hour.
The unrushed knitting rate and the meticulous process turning the jersey into a T Shirt results in every Sunray T Shirt taking over 1.5 hours to make.
SPEC: -Sunray uses heavyweight jersey of which there are 2 weights. Either a 300gm or a 260gm (most brands use around 180gm or lower). We use these weights to ensure the T Shirts last a long time and offers real value for money. -Choosen a low yarn count. Either a 14 yarn or an 18 yarn. (most brands will use high 20 or low 30 yarn count). A low yarn count offers that sumptuous and luxurious softness.
Manufacture: -It is extremely difficult to produce high quality heavyweight jersey and in a low yarn count, which is why it most brands don’t bother as they do not have the suppliers who can produce that level of quality. -The fabric weights, the low yarn count and being produced on antique circular knitting machines ensures Sunray has unique set of desirable fabrics.
FITS: - Both Sunray T Shirt blocks have very traditional fits. Squarer, boxier and slightly shorter than a fashion fit. There is a reason why, which I’ll explain later. - The neck shape and fit are also traditional. The rib construction and fabric are also traditional. Sunray has design protection on the neck detail on the Makaha T Shirt. - The sleeve shape and its angles when worn, offer that feeling of how a T Shirt looked in the 50’s when a plain T Shirt was the epitome of style.
