Dotsume Skipper L/S T-Shirt - 11 Ash
Jackman - Dotsume Skipper L/S T-Shirt - 11 Ash
Click here for full image gallery
We had heard fantastic things about Jackman's fabrics, but getting to actually feel them in person is an entirely astounding experience. They make the densest, most high-quality feeling cotton we've ever laid eyes on (that's a high mark to hit with the brands we currently carry). This Dotsume Skipper is a nice variation on the classic long sleeve tee. With the triangle cut (skipper) neckline, the square cut hem, and the slightly boxy fit overall...this piece wears kind of like a fashion-forward poncho.
They've got a process for creating this amazing shirt. This is a long-sleeved T-shirt made from American cotton knitted with a hanging knitting machine while squeezing it to the utmost limit. By slowly knitting with a hanging knitting machine, the stitches are evenly clogged, and even after repeated wearing and washing, shrinkage and distortion are less likely to occur.
- 100% Cotton
- Densely knit cotton on hanging knitting machines
- Produced in Jackman factory in Fukui prefecture

A variance of .5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: Most people consider Jackman to fit small. We didn't really find that to be true. Ryan is wearing a medium in the pictures. He would normally wear smalls. Shop owner Tommy wears a size medium in this and it fits pretty great. This piece is a little oversized. The reason some people might think their shirts fit small is because of the density. After a few wears, the natural stretch in the cotton makes these pieces relax to a point where they don't feel quite as dense. Essentially, they break in like denim. If you're worried about the density at all, jump up one size. You'll probably like the fit better. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 40" chest.
Apparel
Hawaiian Shirt - Ice Tiger
The Hawaiian tiger shirt is forever going to be a Japanese icon. This proprietary fabric Freenote locked down seems to impress year after year. The mixture of the indigo-dyed linen and that gorgeous tiger print is truly perfect. It's such a rich, royal color of indigo and it gives the instant impression of a white tiger. They've finished this beauty off wtih mother of pearl buttons.
The Alamo Shirt - Tiger Heron
The Alamo is a staple for us nearly every year. When they introduce new colors, we all collectively get a little giddy. This year's central color outlier color is this Tiger Heron. It's a wonderful shade of red that's not too in your face. It is kind of the classic red mechanic shirt color you just know when you see it. The corozo nut buttons always give the piece a nice pop of contrast and the construction never fails. The 1/8" single-needle stitching lends to this military-style silhouette. Luckily, this time you can grab the sturdy but soft cotton Alamo in a color that will hold up for a lifetime.
We really, really love the Dotsume pocket tee...but we know they're not for everyone. It takes a lot of effort, and just the right temperature to put on a tee that heavy. When we first laid our hands on the lighter-weight, USA cotton version of it we knew that it carried the same quality in construction and fit, but a more versatile fabric. This pigment process adds so much character to the shirt and is a special edition for SS23.
This version of the pocket T-shirt is made from cotton which is mainly produced in the cotton-growing area of the Mississippi River basin in the United States. Air spinning produces a cotton fluff with a length of 13 mm to 33 mm which then becomes yarn by centrifugal force. This creates a crisp texture. They also feature traditional details from the 1890s including the oversized pocket and W stitching. The flash gusset on the bottom of the pocket is a special specification that's meant to reduce sweat from moistening the inside of the pocket.

If you're looking for the densest pocket tee on the market, here it is. We've had tees from some of the hardiest manufacturers out there, and they don't hold a candle to these Dotsume tees. They honestly blew us away. This type of tee shirt makes you purge all the weaker, lower-quality versions from your closet. This round, they partnered with the infamous Lavenham for the pocket detail. It's a wonderful "techy" upgrade to give the shirt an even more contemporary feel. They're pretty damn cool in person, we must admit.
A collaboration model completed by the UK's leading factory brand "LAVENHAM" and the Japanese factory brand "Jackman" focuses on each other's strong points. It is a collaboration of factories for more than 50 years, in which brands are connected by diamonds polished from rough stones. This is a combination of Jackman's unique Tianzhu material and Lavenham's unique quilted pockets.
