Pure Blue Japan is one of those brands we've danced around for years and continually questioned why we had yet to carry. Well, the wait is over as we've finally done something we should have done long ago. This brand is known worldwide for its attention to detail and heavily textured selvedge. This is achieved by using low-tension weaves that create not only textured but hairy loomstate denim. Their lineup is always good and always small batch meaning you only get a shot at a few new pieces each season.
We try to snatch up indigo tees whenever they show themselves, and one of the OG's of indigo tees is Pure Blue Japan. We think just about everyone is trying to make a version that feels as nice and fades as nice as this tee. This is the first time we've ever seen them do a stripe, and we had to have it. Indigo and beige go together like peanut butter and jelly. It works in pants, so of course it would work on a tee. The rinse they give this shirt makes it super soft from the get and the yarn-dyed indigo will see you turning this shirt into your next project.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 5 in this tee. That is the size he decided to go with on all the tops this round. As you can see, these run very small. He could've easily worn a 4 for a more trim look, but for the ideal boxy look he wanted...the 5 was perfect. Please pay close attention to those size charts as these shirts do run small. Our starting recommendation is to size up twice from what you normally wear. Tommy is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 40" chest.
