When people hear the name PREQUEL, many may think of a brand dedicated to recreating fabrics from over 100 years ago.
In fact, much of our work is inspired by a French fabric sample book from 1907, which serves as the foundation for our fabric research and development.
However, among the various items we create, our T-shirts and sweatshirts have become some of PREQUEL's most popular and enduring pieces.
The fabric used for this T-shirt is an original heavyweight jersey, slowly knitted on vintage knitting machines that have been in operation for decades.
Unlike modern machines designed primarily for efficiency, these older machines take time to produce a fabric with substantial weight, character, and a distinctive texture.
Despite its heavyweight construction, the fabric is made from American cotton, known for its dry touch and excellent breathability.
The result is a T-shirt that feels comfortable against the skin and remains pleasant to wear even during the warmer months.
The neckline has been carefully designed with a clean and balanced shape, allowing the T-shirt to look equally at home worn on its own or layered under a jacket or shirt.
Rather than following trends, our goal was to create a piece that you would reach for again and again, year after year.
It is not a flashy design, but one whose qualities become more apparent the longer you wear it.
A simple T-shirt, thoughtfully made to stand the test of time.
