■A piece packed with US-like attention to detail
This is one of BARNS’ representative works, incorporating details of vintage sweatshirts from the 1950s into a modern pattern. It is full of American details such as the double V-gusset and the flat seam on the round body.
The sturdy construction and the flavor that comes out with repeated wear make this a piece that can be enjoyed for a long time over the course of months.
This piece from BARNS OUTFITTERS encapsulates the attention to detail reminiscent of 1950s vintage sweatshirts, translated into a contemporary pattern. Featuring a flat-seamed construction with double V-gussets and a circular body, it’s packed with American-inspired details.
With its robust construction and the character that develops with repeated wear, it’s crafted to be enjoyed for years to come.
Prioritizing Quality over Efficiency
The realistic vintage feel is achieved through original dyeing and processing, undergoing numerous trials and errors. The heavy-weight, sturdy fabric gains more character with each wear.
Created with the motto “prioritizing quality over efficiency,” it’s a piece made with meticulous attention and care.
Dyeing with Varying Intensity
The key lies in dyeing the body fabric and parts like ribbing with varying intensities. By introducing contrast to each fabric beforehand, and subjecting them to product washing after assembly, it achieves a deeply expressive vintage appearance. The effort put into recreating the atmosphere of the 1950s is truly commendable.
Double V-gusset for Durability
The neck features a binder neck to prevent stretching, while the slightly oversized double V-gussets on the front and back make a striking impression. Rather than adding stitches to the body to create the gusset, a separate panel ribbing is firmly inserted, a distinctive feature.
This method significantly enhances durability and stretchability despite the extra fabric and labor costs. The attention to detail, including the use of white thread for backstitching, is impeccable.
Rare Knitting Machine
Utilizing a “hanging knitting machine,” a type of knitting machine adapted from the “Cozun knitting machine” that existed in the Taisho era. This Cozun machine with a diameter tailored to the body size is hardly operational in the world today, with only a few companies in Japan operating them.
With just the right speed and tension, it knits softly while incorporating air, resulting in a unique firmness and texture. This pursuit of the dry American atmosphere that Barns aimed for is found here.
Union Special Flat Seam
The Union Special flat seam is used for major stitches. Known for its durability, this flat seam is sewn tightly with four needles, enduring numerous wears and washes.
By using rare machines that are only available in a few locations nationwide, a unique vintage feel with random neps of fuzziness is created.
Stress-free Comfortable Fit
Seams are sewn without overlapping, resulting in a stress-free fit. All sewing and processing are done meticulously in Japan, ensuring quality you can trust.
