The theme of the 2024 Spring/Summer collection, "SPROUT," is based on the name of the vintage clothing store Goto first opened, and aims to reproduce the collections and items purchased in America at that time. A particularly noteworthy item in this collection is the printed corduroy shirt, which was popular among open-collar shirts of the 1950s during the vintage boom that began in the 1990s. While various patterns were developed, the chess pattern that you particularly desired has been selected for this release. This chess pattern is a very rare piece purchased from a vintage dealer in the town of FRESNO, and it is a memorable item that sold out immediately after being brought back to Japan. This collection reproduces the chess pattern featured in FABULOUS 50S, published by a 1950s collector in New York. It is made using 14W corduroy fabric, with the pattern printed horizontally, reproducing the same colors and pattern size as those of the original era. It is available in three base colors: black, vanilla, and turquoise, and the fabric grain has been matched to recreate the atmosphere of that time. This chess-patterned shirt has a box silhouette, pairs well with denim and chinos, and makes a strong statement even when worn alone, making it a highly collectible item. You can feel that it was inspired by the collection of the vintage clothing store when it first started, and has been reborn as unique designs and items.
