Classic Blue Dotsume BB Shirt
This award jacket is made of American cotton, knitted on a loopwheel knitting machine. The extra–thick 11.5 oz material is knitted using the characteristics of the loopwheel knitting machine, which allows the stitches to be evenly packed to the maximum, making it less likely to shrink or warp even after repeated wearing and washing. The design is based on the mid–20th century award jacket with a loose, rounded silhouette, but with lowered armholes and sleeve inclination angles to create a clean, modern design that relieves tension in the shoulders and elbows.
100% Cotton
