GE7081S "Geppaku" Standard T-Shirt

Tanuki delivers the ultimate lightweight tee: the Geppaku or 月白, a word that describes the colour white with a blue tint, almost like the moonshine! 

 

This generous silhouette gives you plenty room to breath and move around in the heat. The hand feel of this tee is incredibly, it's very soft but it has a certain crispness that reminds us of paper and linen. As always, the fabric is a little marvel: Tanuki developed a combed yarn, which means that the high quality cotton undergoes a final spinning process which removes about 15% to 20% of the short, immature fibres. Yarns with only long fibres are then aligned in parallel to become stronger and more durable. But the fabric also becomes softer to the touch and produces less fluffing.

Two of these yarns are then knitted together to create the Geppaku which is ideal for summer with its cool shade of white.
