Sashiko Chore Jacket
Reinforced with 1 million high-strength stitches, using the ancient Japanese art of sashiko.
- Made with Japanese indigo-dyed material
- Entire jacket reinforced with 5.5km of meta-aramid thread
- Garment-washed for a faded look
Reinforced with 1 million high-strength stitches, the Sashiko Chore Jacket pioneers a completely new approach to creating highly durable clothing, inspired by the ancient Japanese art of sashiko. The technique of sashiko, or ‘little stabs,’ is a highly resilient form of embroidery developed during the Japanese Edo period, where worn out garments were repaired using decorative hand stitches. Clothes would be mended again and again as they passed down the generations, getting stronger as they got older.
Rather than waiting until an item of clothing needs to be repaired, we’ve simply applied sashiko-style stitching in super-strong meta-aramid thread over the entire jacket at the start of its life. With a design based on early workwear jackets, it combines heavy-duty Japanese indigo cotton with 5.5 kilometres of high-strength stitching for comfort and durability.
Graphene T Shirt
An ultralight 100 gram t shirt that’s infused with graphene to cool you down.
Technical Details
The Graphene T Shirt is the lightest and fastest-cooling t shirt we’ve ever built.
The only material that comes with a Nobel Prize
The existence of graphene as a supermaterial was first theorised in the 1940s, but it wasn’t until 2004 that two maverick scientists at the University of Manchester – Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov – were able to isolate and test it. They peeled layer after layer off a shaving of graphite using Scotch tape until they produced a sample of graphene just one atom thick. In 2010 their work won them the Nobel Prize. And thanks to their pioneering work we’ve been creating our own world firsts with graphene since 2018.
Graphene’s discovery was probably the first and last time the Nobel Prize will be awarded for an experiment involving Scotch tape and a bin.
Graphene is the lightest material on Earth. So we’ve used it to create the lightest t shirt we’ve ever built.
Designed for a slim fit
We’ve designed the Graphene T Shirt for a slim fit – because the closer you can get graphene to the skin, the more it can help regulate your temperature. But thanks to the four-way stretch, you’ll never feel restricted.
If you’re looking to reverse engineer superhero gear, graphene is the lightest, strongest, most conductive material ever discovered.
Size + Fit
The Graphene T Shirt is designed for a slim fit. If you’re on the borderline between two sizes, or prefer a looser fit, we recommend going a size up.
