Samurai - Heavyweight T-Shirt White [SJST-ML]

A proper “beyond basic” tee, the SJST-ML is part of Samurai’s original heavyweight series, built with the same attention they put into denim. The fabric uses raw cotton spun into thick, slubby #14 yarns, giving it a dry, textured hand that breaks in over time.

Knitted on a vintage Daimaruki circular knitting machine, the jersey comes out dense but still comfortable, with that slightly uneven texture that gives Samurai tees their character.

The construction keeps things traditional: tubular knit (no side seams) for a cleaner drape, a reinforced collar, and a one-wash finish so it’s ready to go from day one. It’s a heavier tee, but not overbuilt; meant to soften, mold, and age naturally with wear.
