Drawing inspiration from mid-century tees, The Dotsume (High-density) t-shirt was conceived with the concept of creating the ultimate world’s strongest ultra-heavy t-shirt cut from original 11.5oz Dotsume-Tenjiku Fabric, which is woven from American cotton. By incorporating twice the number of threads compared to a standard T-shirt and utilizing a tightly knit construction, this shirt acquires a distinctively comfortable yet crisply firm texture when worn. Deliberately designed for prolonged wear, meticulous attention has been paid to the sewing method, materials, and overall design. The utilization of a loop-wheel knitting machine further underscores the dedication to achieving a perfect balance between enduring quality and aesthetic excellence.

It features a comfortable loose fit, and a robust ribbed collar. The Dotsume t-shirt has a relaxed and boxy fit. Its Japanese sizing runs a bit small, so we recommend choosing one size up from your usual American size if you want to maintain the boxy fit it is designed for. If you prefer a less relaxed fit, you can also opt to go true to size.

Founded in 1949 by Mitsugu Tanabe, Jackman's journey began in the Tanabe Meriyasu factory in Fukui, Japan. Inspired by the stockings of American baseball teams post-war, Tanabe's commitment led to crafting exceptional baseball stirrup stockings with innovative machines. The legacy of Tanabe Meriyasu became synonymous with quality, even supplying the 1964 Japanese Olympic team. Today, Jackman remains a testament to this legacy, crafting each piece with unwavering dedication in the same factory. Rooted in tradition, yet embracing innovation, Jackman embodies excellence while honoring its baseball-inspired origins.
