17/-ROUND SHAPE DYED TEE "LAYERS"
¥18,700
COLOR: WHITE
PRODUCT DETAILS

A graphic tee that visualizes the meaning and essence born from the layering of things, based on the theme of "LAYERS". It expresses the idea that multiple layers such as time, process, and interpretation exist within something that appears simple at first glance, using symbolic motifs and repeating compositions. This piece affirms the act of deciphering layers itself, rather than simple simplification or immediate understanding.

Material

A thick gauge jersey made from open-end yarn, commonly used for casual wear. It features a dry, textured feel, achieved with Japanese-made round body fabric. The seamless round body construction provides a natural fit and classic appearance.

Processing

Garment dyeing is performed in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, an area known for its processing technology. The WHITE version has a light finish, with clear lines and color overlays in the graphic. The BLACK version has a deep hue created by dyeing and washing, adding depth to the contrast with the print. As it is worn, the fabric and print will gradually mature, adding further layers to its character.

Silhouette

Designed with a round body using traditional circular knitting machines. It has a relaxed silhouette with a moderate width, naturally enhancing the graphic. The neckline features a stable ribbed design, prioritizing balance for everyday wear.

Background Story

The graphic visually represents "layers" by combining repeating lines and organic motifs. The contrast between an orderly structure and natural objects encompasses multiple perspectives, such as artificiality and nature, and thought and sensation. This product encapsulates the very process of meaning accumulating within a single T-shirt.

About the brand

Wear the authenticity.

Wear the culture.

Uncompromising everyday wear in modern times.

KURO, founded in Tokyo in 2010, initially began as a denim brand with the purpose of merging Tokyo's dynamic energy with the high craftsmanship of Okayama denim. The brand name, KURO, meaning "black" in Japanese, reflects the subtle beauty embodied in words like black-purple, jet black, and black-brown, inspired by the color of Japanese eyes and hair. KURO’s collections are defined by the concept of "black" in Japanese, which embodies a delicate sense of refinement.

By incorporating the unique sensibilities and perceptions of the Japanese people, KURO’s creations blend modernized design with the craftsmanship inherited from artisans across Japan, carrying on history and tradition. KURO views its denim products not merely as denim but as an integral part of its identity, reflecting both culture and respect for the environment. From the development of original fabrics to the architectural elements incorporated into minimalist designs, each component fuses with the expertise of skilled Japanese craftsmen. This combination creates a timeless dignity and serene elegance that endures over time.

KURO’s journey is one of pursuing a wordless elegance that lies within not just aesthetics and materials, but also in the highest quality textiles, minimalist design, and meticulously crafted garments and denim. Our denim collection embodies this philosophy, blending understated sophistication with a modern lifestyle, resulting in designs that reflect the perspectives, ideas, and values that shape today's society.
