We focused on making the neckline exceptionally durable. It stretches to allow the head to pass through but snaps back snugly around the neck. We utilized a "two-step binder" construction—a method that prevents the collar from stretching out easily, even with repeated wear. To achieve this, we made a custom attachment made specifically for our sewing machines.
For the hem and cuffs, we used a finish known as "Tenchi" (top-and-bottom stitch). While sometimes referred to simply as a "single stitch" these days, it isn't actually sewn with a standard single-needle machine; instead, we adjust the settings on an overlock machine.
This year, we are using a 7-ounce jersey fabric. It has a dry, crisp texture typical of vintage T-shirts. It feels great to wear and is sturdy enough to hold its shape well, yet the fabric isn't overly thick —it has just the right weight and comfortable.
My conversations with Mr. Tateno from Workers often start with a casual, "Do you think we could make something like this?" The "CAT’S COLLEGE" series was born from just such a chat.
It features a color combination of pale green and black.
It couldn't be too vivid. It couldn't look too military-style, either.
In the end, the image I settled on was "cat grass".That specific shade of grass that cats love to munch on when spring arrives.
We had this soft, slightly muted green created as a TCB exclusive, a color not found in Workers' standard lineup.
By pairing it with a black collar and sleeves, we toned down the sweetness of the cat-grass green, giving it the vibe of a vintage college T-shirt. The chest features the word "WORKERS" and a cat's face, with "T.C.B" printed in large letters underneath.
Although the design puts the cat front and center, it doesn't feel overly cute when paired with denim—surprisingly enough.
It wasn't an intentional play on words regarding "cat grass," but I also love how the green-and-black two-tone look resembles a sandlot baseball uniform.
What's more, it’s a color combination that looks like something used in Cuban or American minor leagues back in the day. That slightly rustic, down-to-earth, "grassroots sports" atmosphere is part of the T-shirt's charm. It features a cat print, yet it offers so much more than just cuteness.
Whether you missed out on the spring football tee or loved it enough to want another one, this is a piece I’d really like you to wear.
Bring a touch of cat grass to your summer with TCB.
