Now that anyone can easily make T-shirts with a single computer, independent brands that create only what they want to make are booming. The free and unrestricted creativity that is not found in mass production is unique and has captured the hearts of fashion addicts who do not want to follow the right path.
Introduced in this issueIBT.. is one of the brands born out of such a mood. As indicated by the brand name, which is a distorted expression of a rebellious spirit and a distorted desire to have fun with an eclectic sense of style, the brand offers graphics with an edge that cannot be found anywhere else.
T-SHIRT ¥6,500+tax (size range: L only)
LONG T-SHIRT ¥8,500 + TAX (available in two sizes only: XL and XXL)
Two types of T-shirts and a long T-shirt, as shown, were released in the first delivery. The words "Indee Pendente Blakkutai Gaa" arranged in Edo script will be laid out on a black tiger with a crossbow in its mouth. It is a rather sharp graphic, but that is not all that is surprising. The size range is very uneven, with only size L for the T-shirts and sizes XL and XXL for the long T-shirts. The production quantity is a very small lot of 15 T-shirts and 35 long T-shirts, and the items will be sent out based on the freewheeling stance of sending out only what is desired at the time, as if it were a zine.
Physical store for sale is a hot hub spot in North ShinagawaTenjin YuOnly in the public bathhouse. The fact that they do not wholesale their products to apparel stores, but only to public bathhouses, is also interesting because it shows their independent spirit. This is one more brand whose future trends are interesting to me. IBT" is written "Ibitsu. Please keep in touch with us.
