The Jackman Lead-Off T-shirt is meticulously crafted in Japan using 100% US-grown cotton sourced from the fertile Mississippi River Basin, spun through an innovative air-spinning technique. This process twists cotton fibers of varying lengths (approximately 13mm to 33mm) into yarn using centrifugal force — yielding a crisp, textured surface notable for its rugged, dry "rice-cotton" hand feel.

The fabric sits at a mid-weight balance — neither too thick nor too thin — making this T-shirt comfortable across the full warm season, from spring to the end of summer. The slightly rough, dry texture against the skin gives it character far beyond a standard cotton tee, while remaining breathable and easy to wear.

The neckline is finished with thick three-roll binder construction in 100% cotton, sandwiching the body fabric to prevent the collar from stretching out over time. Skilled Japanese sewing techniques ensure the neckline sits cleanly against the body. Side slits add a touch of vintage comfort and style — completing a timeless, refined silhouette.

Fit Notes: Unlike the Dotsume, which runs small, the Lead-Off T-shirt fits true to size. Compared to most global American brands, we recommend taking your usual size for a comfortable fit. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart and comparing it with your best-fitting T-shirt to ensure the right fit.
