BARNS / COZUN×BATMAN TEE

BARNS OUTFITTERS
A brand that reproduces the nostalgic and dry air of America from the 50s to the 70s, with vintage-inspired items being its charm. They offer products with particular attention to detail, such as those made using old-fashioned knitting machines.

Rare knitting machine “COZUN”
The fabric is made using slightly thick fabric knitted by the “COZUN” knitting machine, of which only a few units exist in the world. It’s made of 100% cotton material, slowly knitted at an appropriate speed and tension, resulting in a soft texture with a firm quality.

Additionally, the sewing is done using a method that hides the seams on the back, providing the benefit of not feeling the unevenness of the seams when worn. The meticulous construction, reflecting the brand’s desire for quality over efficiency, is attractive.

“Double V Gusset” sandwiching separate fabric
The neckline features a binder neck to prevent stretching, with slightly larger “double V gussets” placed on the front and back, making a striking impression. Rather than adding stitches to the body to create the gussets, a separate panel rib is firmly sandwiched and sewn, a characteristic feature.

This method significantly increases durability and stretchiness, albeit at a cost. The attention to detail, including the use of white thread for the backstitching, which was commonly seen in the 1950s, is also noteworthy.

The front boldly features the world-famous comic book hero “Batman”. Using the 80s DC COMICS logo, the design exudes a vintage vibe.

The printed part deliberately uses a flocky material with a distressed finish. It’s an attractive accent that allows you to enjoy a vintage touch from the beginning.

Thanks to the small knitting machine, it has a seamless finish under the armpits for stress-free wear. Coupled with slightly slim cuffs, it creates a neat and fit silhouette.

Compared to regular short-sleeve T-shirts, it has a slightly tighter body width, achieving a sleek silhouette without being too casual.

The catchy yet monochromatic design, when paired with any bottoms, adds a cool touch to the outfit.
