LOT.030 A.R.C Watch Cap Charcoal

The LOT.030 A.R.C Watch Cap in Charcoal by Taiga Takahashi is crafted as a one-size model, built from a heritage design: inspired by a 1940s hand-knitted cap produced under the American Red Cross programme. T.T draws upon a 1917 era knitting manual used for garments sent to soldiers, and has analysed its techniques to re-interpret the piece for today. The cap is knitted from a rare blend of 80% extra-fine lambswool and 20% white cashmere — yielding a lightweight, warm, and soft knit that combines the smooth luxury of cashmere with the resilient bounce of wool.

• 80% lambswool / 20% cashmere
• Heritage watch-cap design rooted in 1940s American Red Cross knits
  
• Made in Japan

T.T, a unisex brand based in New York and Kyoto, was founded by Taiga Takahashi, whose education fused Japanese culture with Western ideas. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2017, he launched his brand, centred on the concept of "resurrecting relics of the past to unearth artifacts of the future." Takahashi, an avid collector of vintage garments from the pre-mass production era, emphasises the historical value of craftsmanship. Through an archaeological lens, he reinterprets time-worn fabrics and sewing details, creating garments meant to endure for centuries, incorporating endangered traditional Japanese techniques and collaborating with skilled artisans.
