This men's casual plain long sleeve inlay french terry T-shirt is made in Japan and designed and manufactured by Japan Blue Jeans.

This item is constructed from French terry jersey knit fabric, similar to sweatshirt fabric, and features a simple long-sleeve T-shirt design with a crew neck, raglan sleeves, and straight-cut cuffs and hem without ribbing. The fabric is a 16.5oz, 18-gauge tightly knitted inlay French Terry jersey made from thick 100% cotton yarn with a unique inlay texture. The surface of the fabric has a rugged, slub-like texture with a natural unevenness, offering a rich and distinctive appearance. It has a firm, structured feel, reminiscent of vintage American workwear, with a dry and substantial thickness. The inner side of the fabric has a towel-like looped texture similar to the reverse side of a sweatshirt. This looped structure allows for excellent breathability by promoting airflow and naturally absorbing moisture.

Japan Blue Jeans' inlay fabric is tightly knitted with thicker-than-usual yarns. Additionally, an extra yarn is incorporated into the knitting process, giving the fabric a stiff, rigid, durable feel with minimal drape. This results in a fabric that resists stretching, shrinking, and fading, allowing it to maintain its shape over time. The fabric is thicker than a typical T-shirt but thinner than a standard sweatshirt, making it a perfect mid-weight piece. It combines the characteristics of both T-shirts and sweatshirts, with a sharp design that lacks ribbing at the cuffs and hem, making it suitable for wearing on its own or as a layering piece under a jacket. Additionally, as part of the finishing process, the garment is pre-washed (also known as one-wash) to minimise shrinkage and give it a slightly faded look. The ribbed crew-neckband is designed for extra durability, crafted by sandwiching the body fabric between ribbing and sewing it with a cover stitch. The raglan sleeves, which have seams running diagonally from the neckline to the underarm, offer greater freedom of movement compared to traditional set-in sleeves. The cuffs and hem are finished with a clean, straight cut, folded and sewn with double stitching, without ribbing.

This item has a square-shaped fit that is moderately roomy in the chest and shorter in length, offering a generous and relaxed silhouette. The relaxed fit around the torso provides comfort and ease, while the shorter length adds a stylish, cropped look.
