Six methods to wear Champion's MADE IN USA.

Founded in 1919, the athletic wear brand "Champion" has been loved for more than 100 years. Among its many items, the "T1011" series, which is synonymous with heavyweight T-shirts, is notable for its commitment to American manufacturing, from material procurement to yarn selection and sewing, and is made in the USA. Six experts wear such wear that can be said to be a permanent and unchanging staple. What is the method of wearing "authentic" in six different ways?

STYLE 2 The exquisite fabrics make for a comfortable fit.

What is your impression of "Champion" to begin with?

Classic, basic. If you like clothes, I think this is a brand you cannot avoid. I think it's amazing that just by putting the C logo on the brand, everything is complete. It would take years for anyone to recognize a brand by its logo.

We have absolute confidence in you. What other items do you choose as staples?

For shoes, I often choose classic models. But for clothes, I like a modern interpretation of a classic rather than a classic staple.

The one you are wearing right now is exactly what I am talking about. The T1011, synonymous with heavyweight T-shirts, has been updated since the 1930s, adding a modern essence to the classic series.

I think they are based on authentic designs, such as raglan sleeves and rounded pant hems, but I love how they are arranged in a modern way without feeling uncomfortable. It looks simple, but when you look at the details, you can see the attention to detail. I think this is Champion's specialty.

It's a stiff fabric made entirely of American cotton.

I liked everything from the heavy weight fabric to the silhouette and color. I can wear it when I go out to play or when I am at home. A short-sleeved, short pants set-up would look like loungewear, wouldn't it? But the silhouette and color of this one makes it look less like loungewear, and it can also be worn individually, so I think it's very convenient.

If it's comfortable to wear, isn't it perfect for child-rearing?

Yes, I do. When you have children, comfortable clothes are the best. And since it has the "Champion" logo on it, I think it works as a fashion item.
