A Unique Release from Healthknit and HIGH! STANDARD
Originating in 1900, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Healthknit emerged at the end of the American frontier era. Knoxville has since evolved into one of the most significant textile manufacturing regions globally. Standing out in this textile hotspot, Healthknit established its legacy with a sprawling 1 million square feet of production space, encompassing everything from spinning to sewing—making it one of the largest textile manufacturing facilities in the nation during its peak.
By the 1960s, Healthknit challenged the prevailing notion of t-shirts as mere white undergarments, introducing vibrant, colorful options that helped redefine industry standards.
This article shines a spotlight on their latest collaboration with HIGH! STANDARD, showcasing exclusive pigment-dyed T-shirts designed with a unique character.
Healthknit x HIGH! STANDARD Round Pocket Pigment T-Shirt
- - Price: ¥12,100 (tax included)
- - Colors Available: SAX, PURPLE, BLACK
- - Sizes Available: M to XXL
Emphasizing a shift from the traditional concept of American-made pocket T-shirts, this new piece proudly presents Japanese craftsmanship. It employs a durable ring-spun yarn fabricated into a dense jersey fabric that feels luxuriously smooth. The design features a seamless round body for increased comfort and a resilient neckline that ensures it retains its shape over time. Available in a classic white base, the pigment-dyed versions come in eye-catching SAX, PURPLE, and BLACK hues.
Healthknit x HIGH! STANDARD Henley Pigment T-Shirt
- - Price: ¥12,650 (tax included)
- - Color Available: BLACK
- - Sizes Available: L to XXL
This Henley version is crafted using the same material as the pocket T-shirt. Typically, Healthknit's Henley T-shirts are made with a lighter fabric, but in true HIGH! STANDARD fashion, this piece offers a slightly thicker design. Built to withstand years of wear, this shirt promises to develop a beautiful aged patina over time, allowing the wearer to enjoy its evolving character.
