Allevol Heavy Duty Crew Neck T-shirt Hand Dyed Orange
The Allevol Heavy Duty Crew Neck T-shirt has become a staple for the brand and a go to offering.Â
Carefully selected high grade raw cotton was used for the body of these Heavy Duty tee’s, while the yarns were spun in Japan. This thick 14 count yarn was knit on vintage circular knitting machines, often referred to as ‘Taimaru’.Â
This slow process creates a seamless finish on the torso and as a result produces a garment that will keep its shape after many, many wears and has a superior heavy handle.
This Heavy Duty tee was created to emulate the vintage feel of classic Sportswear tees from the 50’s & 60’s, with a heavy handle and superior touch that soon become a wardrobe essential.Â
Further details include a bound crew neck collar with drop needle stitching throughout and triple stitching throughout. With no side seams the Heavy Duty tee will retain shape over time, while a short, boxy silhouette completes the look. A single chest pocket has been added for a relaxed touch.Â
For this SS23 season we have the Heavy Duty Crew Neck Tee available in three Summer ready colour-ways. To create the orange colour-way, an exhaust dye bath which combined Fustic and Cutch. The garments have been washed in PH neutral soap and steamed. Each t-shirt is individually hand dyed, a costly and time consuming exercise.Â
Please ensure that naturally dyed purchases must be washed with similar colours on a cold, gentle wash with PH neutral soap so that the colour doesn’t shift. Spot cleaning is not recommended.
Lastly, these natural dyed products are washed and dried in a natural way. The sizes across these may differ ever-so-slightly due to the nature of the dyeing process. For exact measurements please do get in touch.Â
