Introduction:
Yusuke Kurosawa made a polyester T-shirt using the pattern of Merino Basic Tee Short Sleeve. The size is the same as the Merino Basic Tee Short Sleeve.

Yusuke Kurosawa encourage people wearing merino wool T-shirts for long-term traverse and everyday life. However, synthetic fiber materials such as polyester also have merits. Since the material itself is inexpensive, the product price can be kept down and daily care is possible without being as careful as merino wool. Durability and quick-drying will also be better with polyester.

Of course, there are some disadvantages, and as you use polyester T-shirts, the smell becomes more noticeable. Compared to natural fibers such as cotton and wool, chemical fibers are harder to remove sebum stains, and polyester is especially easy to adsorb. In addition, chemical fibers are prone to the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Therefore, merino wool is definitely recommended for long-term vertical runs where you want to reduce your luggage as much as possible, but in situations where you can change clothes immediately, such as a day hike, a quick-drying, highly durable polyester T-shirt will be an option.

* If you smell it, please try the following steps.
1. Wash odorous part with powdered oxygen bleach.
2. Fill a washbasin with hot water of about 40 to 50 °C, mix the specified amount of powdered oxygen bleach, and leave the laundry for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. After soaking, rinse and spin using a washing machine.
4. After spin, do not leave it and dry it immediately. Leaving after spin can also cause odor.

Design:
As the product name calls "Basic", the simple box-shaped design allows you to continue wearing it from the mountain to the city.

The specifications of the neck use "rib collar". The shoulder line, sleeve attachment line, and side line are all flat seamer treated.

"Flat seamer" is a specification that uses a special sewing machine to match and sew the fabric as shown in the illustration on the left. As the name suggests, the seams of the fabric are very flat and reduce the stress on the skin as much as possible. It is a manufacturing method that is often used for sportswear and baby wear because the seams are also durable.

A brand name tag is sewn on the hem.

Size Chart:
* Since the pattern of Merino Basic Tee Short Sleeve is used, the size is the same as Merino Basic Tee Short Sleeve.

This product is available in men's size (Men) and women's size (Women). The overall silhouette is not so different between the men's size (Men) and the women's size (Women), but the women's size (Women) has a silhouette that more closely matches the female body shape, such as length and shoulder width. Please check the size chart on the left for details.

Collaborator
JUN OSON, an illustrator living in Kamakura, had drawn an illustration for this product. JUN OSON started his illustrator career in 2005. Characters with a peanut-shaped feature were created at that time. His artworks have a stateless style based on the influence of manga and animations that he has been unconsciously influenced since childhood, with elements from Western artists such as James Jarvis and KAWS. It may be similar to the way the Japanese, who maintained a unique culture, are being influenced by the West to create a more special culture. In addition to people with various skin colors, monsters and robots appear in his works. “Diversity” is something he has always had since he started his career and is fundamental to his values. He has done a lot of work as an illustrator and has become known to many people in Japan.

The first time Yusuke Kurosawa met JUN OSON was at the "First Kamakura Hikers Meeting", a Yamatomichi event where held in Kita-Kamakura in October 2011. From there, Yusuke and JUN OSON were connected at once, and they have conversations on Messenger from time to time.

JUN OSON started drawing about 7-8 years ago when he thought about the many characters floating around. However, it is quite difficult as anyone can imagine. That's why JUN OSON don't usually accept requests for work, but since it was a request from RIDGE, JUN OSON accepted it.

JUN OSON takes a lot of time to draw a lot of characters and character design such as styling is surprisingly difficult. Among the many characters this time, there is a hidden character that mountain lovers will probably know. I'm J* Mar*s. Please look for it.
