The Lot. 515 A.R.C Sweater in Mix Beige by T.T is cut to a boxy fit, crafted from a mixed yarn of “gima” cotton yarn and silk/linen to create a blended texture with a zigzag knitted pattern. The sweater is based on the American Red Cross knit from the 1940s. The folded and linked collar rib, no longer seen in current knitwear, and the repaired hand-blind stitches are faithfully replicated, while the armholes and sleeves were reconstructed to match the silhouette. Finished off with thick ribbing at the cuffs and hem for comfort and durability.

T.T, a unisex brand based in New York and Kyoto, was founded by Taiga Takahashi, whose education fused Japanese culture with Western ideas. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2017, he launched his brand, centred on the concept of “resurrecting relics of the past to unearth artifacts of the future.” Takahashi, an avid collector of vintage garments from the pre-mass production era, emphasizes the historical value of craftsmanship. Through an archaeological lens, he reinterprets time-worn fabrics and sewing details, creating garments meant to endure for centuries, incorporating endangered traditional Japanese techniques and collaborating with skilled artisans.
