The following is quoted from the official website:

Updated based on a 1960s TOWNCRAFT shirt. In recent years, TOWNCRAFT ombre shirts have been discussed as premium items in the vintage clothing market. Based on the XL size of the time, the sleeve length, length, and angle of the sleeves have been adjusted to create a well-fitting box silhouette.
The fabric has a moderate drape, is comfortable to wear, and allows you to enjoy the aging process.

・Features include a small collar, a round chest pocket, and sturdy, carefully sewn construction.
・The ombre check fabric is based on the archives of the time and was woven in the dyed yarn production area of Mitsuke.
・The fine count yarn reproduces a unique expression with its shaded tones.
・Rayon is a material that gives the fabric a puffy surface and moderate thickness while also feeling soft and draping well.
・All seams, such as the armholes, underarms, and sides, are finished with felled seams.
・It became known as a symbol of delinquents after being favored by bikers and artists in the 1950s.

The scene in the movie The Outsiders where the delinquent group wore ombre and the wealthy group wore Madras is impressive. In the movie Lords of Dogtown, set in the 1970s, the Z-BOYS, who became popular as skaters, also wore them. In the 90s, Kurt Cobain was a fan.
