Good On

Good On is a Japanese brand founded in 1997 with the goal to make high quality, American vintage inspired T-shirts, made in Japan. Inspired by the glory days of American clothes manufacturing, before the era of mass consumption, Good On aims to replicate this world renowned quality, bringing back the same feelings of those famous clothing pieces, with made in Japan quality and expertise in manufacturing, dyeing, and fit. Using American cotton and tubular knit designs, Good On T-Shirts have a regular fit with no side seams to get in the way of an excellent fit and range of motion. The 5.5 ounce American jersey cotton provides a comfortable yet structured garment with vintage handfeel, and the Japanese pigment dyeing techniques have evolved to lift these t-shirts into a living and breathing garment. The t-shirts will fade over time, as the pigment slowly stripes away from its bounds to the surface of the cotton, with each wash becoming more refined, and giving off a vintage charm and character that makes Good On t-shirts the perfect choice for layering, and those seeking a high quality vintage feel in a basic t-shirt.

Good On Japan relies on using branded Cotton USA American cotton for its t-shirts. Cotton USA is a mark of quality in the cotton industry, it is a mark of trust that symbolizes the high level of quality in the fibers, and which must meet the stringent and particular levels set by the Japanese in their manufacturing.

Good On’s American knitting factory utilizes Japanese expertise to develop and produce their fabrics. The Good On Basic line features a 5.5 ounce jersey cotton plain knit, which is air spun for added strength and a tight twist, while leaving the internal fibers soft and delicate. This ensures that the material is supple and comfortable to wear on the body, but also extremely durable in that it must uphold the strenuous process of heavy pigmentation dyeing and washing. The end product is a long-lasting, durable, and ultra comfortable fabric which is ideal for your go-to basic t-shirt needs.

Not only are the materials used superior in quality, but the construction and manufacturing techniques as well, illustrate the lengths Good On goes to to make a highly durable t-shirt. A long lasting double two needle-flat stitch is used to provide comfort on the arm openings, hems, neck ribs, and cuffs, but also durability ensuring the garment can be washed over and over again without any compromise to structural integrity. The tubular knit design ensures it will conform and rape to the body, eliminating those annoying side seams which bind you in, and give this shirt a real vintage good on Americana feel to it.

The finishing touch which makes Good On an elevated product, is the pigment dyeing which provides the unique coloration and pre-worn vintage feeling to them. To get the pigment to adhere to the surface of the cotton, colorants and an adhesive inder are mixed together to get the colorway to ‘’stick’’ to the fabric. This creates an uneven surface which adds to the vintage charm, and which with wearing and washing, will fade overtime and develop a rich unique character.

Good On T-Shirts have a pre-washed treatment to ensure minimal shrinkage and have a contemporary fit to them. Discover the appeal of a wardrobe with quality basics, with Good On being a perfect t-shirt to compliment any wardrobe.
