Big waffle, not honeycomb. Low-gauge construction with thick cotton yarn creates a raised, oversized waffle structure with real depth. The channels trap warm air, making this more insulating than the weight alone suggests. UES produce it in Japan using traditional methods, and the result reads closer to a proper thermal base layer than a regular T-shirt. Natural nep, unevenness and variation are part of the fabric character.
Flat seam construction, overlocked hem, box-shaped silhouette. The henley placket sits clean at the front without overcomplicating the shape. UES size this with room through the body.
Steel gray is a clean mid-tone that sits comfortably in workwear or casual layering without pulling focus. Pairs well with indigo denim, canvas or darker outerwear.
