The waffle mid-neck is packed with ingenuity for long-term wear. Using extra-thick yarn and a soft and voluminous big waffle material, it is knitted with a custom vintage machine that knits slowly at a low speed. The main sewing of the body is a flat seam, so it sits smooth on the skin, making it very comfortable to wear. The contrasting horizontal knit on the back prevents the fabric from dropping after repeated wearing and washing.
The careful Japanese manufacturing process, using the same machinery as when it began in 1949, isn’t dissimilar from our hand-crafted production here in Suffolk, only at Jackman they specialise in using the finest cotton, at their own factory in Fukui, Japan.
Founded by Mitsugu Tanabe right after WWII, and inspired by his love for American Baseball, Jackman continue to use spirit and passion, creating understated, yet high quality pieces.
