The main difference between this shirt and the Gold Tiger is in the fabric pattern. It is the Tiger Stripe pattern, also known as Dud Pole or TDS by collectors due to the presence of a distinctive ladle-like pattern.
The shirts we offer this time are not the Asian cut, which is smaller in size and has a different number of pockets and buttons, but the US cut, which is larger in size and has a larger number of pockets and buttons. Of course, we obtained the top and bottom of the original US cut Silver Tiger Stripe for the reissue and measured all of them. It is known that the original Silver Tiger shirt size and US cut pants size do not correspond to each other, and the pants are comparatively larger than the shirt.
The Standard Edition is a mass-produced product sewn at the same factory on the Japanese mainland as our Gold Tiger. Everything, including the fabric, is made in Japan. The difference in comfort and size is not as great as the Limited Edition, but the button holes and the seam between the back and front fabrics are finished with more modern techniques to allow for mass production. The buttons are the same as those used on our Gold Tiger. The size of the cuffs and the scale of the actual garment has been brought back to the present day. Following the original cutting method, we have reproduced the pattern used on the front and back as much as possible.
As the name suggests, the fabric is finished in such a way that it gradually fades to a monotone color through wear, washing, and sunlight. The fabric may turn yellow when first worn. Please note that it will not turn white immediately from the beginning. The entire fabric will gradually fade to white and become silver by washing and sunlight. Compared to Gold Tiger, the fabric is heavier and thicker. The number of warp and woof yarns is denser than that of Gold Tiger, so the shrinkage after washing is also less. The shrinkage rate after washing is -2% lengthwise and -0.8% widthwise. If you notice any shrinkage, please gently stretch the fabric while it is still wet to bring it closer to its original size, just as you did with the previous garment.
It is not our intention at all that our products that have been aged and worn will be distributed as the real thing decades later. Therefore, we have made some differences from the actual item, such as black stitching and selvedge fabric treatment. Please take a look at the product photos for details.
This time we have prepared five sizes from US-S to US-XXL. Size charts are provided as images between the product photos. We have also prepared the following images to help you with your own size measurements, so please be sure to check them before ordering. Size changes can be made by exchange if the item is in stock, or by refund if the item is out of stock. Please note that the cost of return shipping is the responsibility of the customer. We do inspect our products, but in the unlikely event that a product is defective, we will replace it with an equivalent product or refund your money after we have confirmed the defect. If you have any requests, please contact us by all means.
MADE IN JAPAN
Because the finish of the sewing is different from the normal version and the limited edition, the fit is different. The size also differs in detail even if the measurements are the same. Please see the product description of the limited edition for details.
Please note that there will be individual differences such as the position of the camouflage pattern.
Our cotton fabric will shrink. The horizontal shrinkage is -0.8% and the vertical shrinkage is -2%. Shrinkage will be reduced by stretching it gently when it is wet.
