WESTRIDE 25SS NEW “VINTAGE FOOTBALL TEE-1: WR'S 69”.
Another highlight from the popular "Round Body" series, which quickly became a bestseller last year. With this new version, the design has been realized with even greater care and attention to detail, with the original "vintage" look being integrated into the production even more authentically and richly. The shirt is made from 16-count single threads and knitted slowly and with great dedication on a circular knitting machine. This traditional "hanging knitting" technique ensures that the yarn is slowly woven into a cylindrical pattern under its own weight, giving the fabric a wonderfully soft and airy texture without unnecessary tension. This gives the Football Tee its unique comfort and excellent feel. The mix of thick and thin threads created by the old spinning technique creates the typical horizontal stripes that characterize this series.

The sewing technique is based on the classic methods of the era and uses reinforced seams such as the double-needle stitch and tie collar for extra durability. The body of the shirt features a subtle slant, ensuring a comfortable, loose fit. The design of the shirt is inspired by an old racing poster featuring a humorous depiction of the "handicap race," in which a disabled woman starts first and the men follow her—a symbol of "tolerance towards the disadvantaged."

The "Vintage Football Tee-1: WR's 69" by WESTRIDE draws on the classic, inimitable charm of the "Round Body" series, bringing back the original "vintage" design with even greater attention to detail and craftsmanship. The shirt is crafted from premium loopback cotton fabric woven on a traditional circular knitting machine to achieve an exceptionally soft, airy texture. The use of the "hang-knit" technique allows the fabric to remain loose and stretch gently without losing its original shape. This technique ensures maximum comfort and an excellent fit.

The classic design is complemented by the nostalgic inspiration of vintage racing posters. The motif depicts a humorous scene of a "handicap race," in which a disabled woman starts first, followed by the men. This depiction is not only a humorous element, but also a nod to the importance of tolerance and acceptance towards people who experience discrimination.

The artwork is by LITTLE CHOP DESIGN "KNUCKLE," a leading lowbrow artist from Gifu, known for his masterful airbrush and sculptural work. With a worldwide fan base and numerous collaborations with bands like AC/DC and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, he is one of the hottest artists on the scene.

Combining a stylish vintage look with excellent craftsmanship, this shirt is the ideal garment for lovers of high-quality, iconic designs. Reinforced seams and the classic tie collar provide added durability, while the loose fit ensures a comfortable fit. A must-have for collectors and connoisseurs!
