MOTO CLUB TEAM SHORT SLEEVE T SHIRT

A handsome look with a vintage feel.

An elegant, refined update on a vintage motorcycle T-shirt.
We printed a message used as the brand’s hidden slogan on the chest, with a design reminiscent of a motorcycle T-shirt.
CALL ON GOD, BUT ROW AWAY FROM THE ROCKS. A life lesson: You can pray to God before you hit the rocks, but you still have to pick up the oars and row.

A saying engraved on accessories worn privately by Hunter S Thompson, the legendary American journalist who worked in the 1960s and ’70s and pioneered gonzo journalism.

Gonzo journalism approaches its subjects subjectively rather than objectively, weaving emotions and imagination together with facts to tell nonfiction stories using novelistic techniques. Its irreverent, unconventional, and deeply subjective perspective captured the spirit of the era and established a new form of journalism.
There’s also a film based on his semi-autobiographical novel that offers a glimpse into the madness of that era, so be sure to check it out if you’re interested.
Johnny Depp stars, even shaving his head to resemble the real person he was playing. The 1998 film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas captures the madness of the era, and I personally think it’s a must-see for Americana fans.

This has strayed far from the T-shirt description, but many of the phrases we use come from the brand’s realist perspective and have this kind of background.
We set that phrase in a distinctive font and created a vintage motorcycle T-shirt design.

The brand’s world is for stylish adults who want to dress for any time, place, or occasion (TPO), with a little bit of streetwear, Americana, and high fashion.
With the same materials and philosophy as our staple blank T-shirt, we created the MOTO T, with exceptional comfort and a look that works even with slacks.

We wanted to make a fabric with such a luxurious, moving feel against the skin that you’d want to give it as a gift.

We’ve created a T-shirt that envelops the body with a gentle, silky feel like wearing cashmere against bare skin, and the fresh, luxurious feel of hotel bed sheets that are meticulously cared for every day. It comes in a comfortably substantial 7 oz. weight.

Even after washing, the fabric retains its texture. Thanks to the qualities of the yarn and the knit, it’s less likely to attract pet hair and lint, so you can enjoy its clean look and exceptional comfort every day.
Despite its substantial 7 oz. body, the smooth fabric’s supple, stretchy quality creates a fluid drape and a clean silhouette.

The fit is designed to create a clean silhouette whether you wear it tucked in or untucked.
This is a classic fit that’s comfortably relaxed, not oversized. If you prefer a close, true-to-size fit, we recommend going down one size.
We design the sizing and fit of all our products around this T-shirt, so we recommend using its fit as a reference when considering other items, too.

I’m now an adult who can’t get enough of gasoline-scented things and board sports, but as a child, I had very sensitive skin. Even organic cotton could be uncomfortable if the finishing threads were the slightest bit fuzzy or the fabric’s knit wasn’t just right. That experience taught me that what I want from an ordinary fashion staple like a T-shirt isn’t just a graphic, but quality that lets me enjoy soothing, luxurious comfort every day, even with irritated skin or a tired body.

In the past, we’ve worked with a wide range of materials, including extra-long-staple cotton, Supima cotton, and US cotton. We’ve also used various techniques, such as Z-twisted, high-twist open-end yarn to increase strength.
T-shirts made on old Japanese loopwheel knitting machines, which use gravity to bring out the fabric’s full texture, were also of excellent quality. But they offered a different approach to achieving a luxurious feel.

So instead of the single-knit jersey construction used until now, where weft yarn is passed through the warp, we focused on proven smooth jersey, which has the same knit pattern on both sides. We began updating it to create stretch and a clean fabric surface.
Smooth knit stitches overlap halfway, creating a dense surface. This makes the fabric thicker than jersey, but because the same stitch isn’t knitted horizontally, the finished surface has little texture and feels even softer against the skin.

After testing various yarn blends to make the most of these qualities, we created a smooth knit fabric with a fine texture and no fuzz. We used soft, long-staple, 40-count extra-long-staple cotton yarn, made from long fibers only, twisted into two-ply yarn. The result is a comfortable T-shirt that brings a sense of everyday luxury.
In summer, it feels light and comfortable. In winter, the knit construction helps retain body heat when worn under outerwear, giving this T-shirt added warmth.

This product offers such a luxurious feel and delightful softness that you’ll want to give it as a gift. We hope you’ll experience it for yourself.
