TOWN CRAFT tc24f018 Flannel Check Loop Collar Shirt
TOWNCRAFT was established in 1927 as a derivative brand of J.C. Penney.It is a flagship J.C. Penney store brand, standing alongside names like BIG MAC and PAY-DAY.Unlike the workwear brands of the time, TOWNCRAFT from the 50s to the 70s placed a premium on new materials, embellishments, and design, symbolizing the good old days of mass-produced America.We have learned the wonder and depth of clothing through vintage items, and based on those design sources, we continue to develop TOWNCRAFT for the modern day, focusing on comfort and ease of wear.
Updated based on a 1960s TOWNCRAFT shirt.
In recent years, Towncraft ombre shirts have become highly sought-after, premium items in the vintage market.
Using the XL size from that era as a base, we have adjusted the sleeve length, total length, and sleeve angle to create a well-balanced boxy silhouette.
It offers a comfortable drape and can be enjoyed as it ages over time.
・Features detailing such as a small collar and rounded chest pockets, with durable, meticulous stitching.
・The ombre check fabric is based on original archives from the era.
・Fine-count yarns recreate a unique depth of shading.
・Made with mid-weight flannel fabric.
・The lightly brushed surface of the flannel offers a pleasant texture and comfortable wear that improves with age.
・All seams—including armholes, sleeve undersides, and side seams—are finished with flat-felled seams.
・During cutting, the patterns are carefully aligned for the body, collar, yoke, and sleeves to ensure symmetry on both sides.
Having been favored by bikers and artists, it eventually became known as an icon of rebellion. The scene in the movie "The Outsiders," where the delinquent group wears ombre and the wealthy group wears madras, is particularly memorable. In the 1970s-set film "Lords of Dogtown," the popular skaters known as the Z-Boys are also seen wearing them. In the 90s, the shirt was famously worn by Kurt Cobain.
