SJST-TW01 - 10/2 Extra Heavy T-Shirt - Green
The SJST-TW01 is Samurai's heaviest tee to date at 15.7oz, and the construction behind it is worth understanding. They start with #10 air-spun yarn, an open-ended spinning technique that uses only air to twist thick, short-staple cotton fibers together. The process produces a naturally slubby, irregular yarn that carries real texture before it's even knitted. From there, the yarns are doubled to create an effective #5 weight, giving the fabric a heft and density closer to heavy denim than conventional jersey. The layered dyeing adds another dimension, a tone that shifts slightly depending on the light and continues to develop with wear. The fit is boxy and balanced, finished with a reinforced two-needle binder neck built to hold its shape. This is a tee that takes a few washes to fully come alive, and then it's yours for a long time.
- 15.7oz extra heavyweight jersey, 100% cotton
- #10 open-ended air-spun yarn, doubled
- Slubby, dry handfeel
- Layered dyeing technique
- Reinforced two-needle binder neck
- Pre-washed to minimize shrinkage
- Made in Japan
| Size | Chest | Shoulder | Back Length | Sleeve Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M | 21.45 | 18.9 | 26.2 | 8.7 |
| L | 22.45 | 19.5 | 27.0 | 8.9 |
| XL | 23.05 | 20.1 | 28.1 | 9.3 |
| XXL | 23.80 | 20.9 | 28.7 | 9.4 |
A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: Normally, t-shirts run pretty small from Samurai. This one was more on the roomy side. Tommy easily wore a large for the photoshot and liked the fit a lot. We do not expect these to shrink up much because of the heavy wash process. We recommend you stick with your true size. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
