Vintage Summit 10: A Vintage Roundtable Discussion by some of the industry's leading eccentrics.

Abe:The next one is also a sticky one, but with a reverse weave retrofit. The key point is, of course, that it is navy.

Konno:Navy is a bad idea. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen reverse retrofits in stores at all lately.

Fujiwara:I don't think it's been in our house for more than two years.

Kurihara:. we sold one last year when we moved and opened.

Fujiwara:Yes, I know. I don't think I've seen them for sale since the ones sold by "Mr. Clean" , and I've never seen them for sale at all. And I haven't seen any navy-colored ones at all.

Abe:You don't get a lot of navy.

Kurihara:In terms of the reverse retrofit, I would say the ratio is about 50 gray to 1 navy. Did I have anything other than gray and navy?

Fujiwara:There was a green one, wasn't there? . was that red too........

Abe:This is pretty faded, but do you care about fading?

Konno:I look for sweatshirts that have faded, regardless of whether they are Champion or not. The technology of today's sweatshirts has improved, so it's harder for the color to fade. Therefore, I am attracted to this kind of faded atmosphere, and I would like to reproduce this atmosphere in my own brand.

Kurihara:If you think fading = condition, I'm sure many people would want something that is in good condition. But with denim, each has its own advantages.

Abe:Indeed .

Fujiwara:I think what Mr. Abe is wearing today is a recent reverse weave, but even the same navy has slightly different shades depending on the era.

Konno:The old navy will probably burn red. . and it will be even more shirred, so maybe it will have more color variation. I don't know why old reverses get more reddish when they burn. Perhaps it's a dye problem.

Abe:You're right, the colors are different.

Fujiwara:And my favorite back print. Please let me know if you need to let it go (lol).

Konno:I like the back print, too. And the navy and yellow is a good color scheme.

Kurihara:Please coordinate with the navy blue and yellow dunks that Mr. Abe wore today (laughs).
