The 50/50 Shirt - CLASSIC TEE - Yamato Japanese Indigo Dyed
The 50/50 Tee:
Now made in New York with our amazing non-profit partner, Mozaic Organization.
Using a half-upcycled, half-organic cotton yarn from the same mill we get our 100% upcycled cotton blend, we knit this unique fabric just for us, completely from scratch.
Coming in 3 colors of untreated natural, bleached white, and fabric-dyed black, we have made these 100% in the USA from start to finish and now, as of 2025, they are cut, sewn, and finished in New York State.
With a weight of 5.9 ounces and pre-washed and dried, these tees are built for comfort and durability. Adding a 1930s shuttle loom USA-made label is the final touch in making these a new staple of the brand and a staple in your closet.
Fit: These tees are standard-sized and even lean a bit wide in the arm and body but are not overly long.
***If you would like a pocket tee please email us and ask, we might have one!

ABOUT THE DYE: Yamato Indigo is indigo powder dye developed by Aikuma Senryo, a company founded in 1818 in Tokyo. The company was originally a Chinese herbal apothecary and later began supplying dyeing supplies. In the 1870’s, when indigo was exceptionally valuable, Aikuma Senryo developed a method for extracting the indigo pigments from old indigo-dyed fabric. By boiling the fabric in water, a clay-like dye called airou (indigo wax) was created. Airou became a popular option for dyers until synthetic indigo eventually became available in Japan. Based on this method of making airou, Aikuma Senoryo created Yamato Indigo, a powder dye consisting of extracts from indigo plants, chemical indigo, alkaline agent, and reducing agent.
