The LW326 Relax Fit Tee now comes with an LPWR print. The fabric is the same as the plain tees—LW Middleweight 30/2 Combed TSURIAMI Jersey. On extremely hot days, the relaxed fit creates a bit of space between the fabric and the skin, which makes it feel slightly more bearable. It will be available starting Thursday, July 24 in Sendagaya and Osaka, and Friday, July 25 in Fukuoka.

The LPWR overlapping print was carefully adjusted by our craftspeople to create a slight transparency in the ink. We hope you enjoy the layered tones where the prints overlap. This technique is common in paper printing, but it's quite challenging in silk-screen printing—it really relies on the printer’s touch and intuition. I’ve been working with our printer for nearly 40 years now, so we’ve developed a sort of unspoken understanding.

Available in three color schemes: Black, Blue, and Pink. Sizes run from S to L, and the retail price is ¥14,300 (tax included). In my mind, the print has a bit of a wind chime motif—a summer staple in Japan—and I hope it brings a refreshing, breezy feel. We look forward to welcoming you in store. @Satoshi Suzuki
