Single-sided vertical knit thermal adopted by the military in the 40s.
The US Navy from the 1940s to the 1960s ordered thermals from various manufacturers. Thus, there are more than a dozen types of so-called military thermals. Common qualities include vertical knitting (both double and single-sided), manufacturing with flat seams or flat locks, and a crew neck. Although all are made of cotton, the material feel, size, and dimensions vary widely. Isn't it one of the values of thermals to be manufactured with consistent quality, size, and dimensions?

The vertical knit single-sided thermal material "Honeycomb shape" manufactured in Wakayama. The vertical knit shape adopted by the US Navy in 1940 is known for its high air retention, and its heat retention is widely recognized as a valuable quality. This original material improves durability and heat retention by densely knitting the vertical weave.

The above is a reprint from DELUXEWARE.

The 26FW items have arrived a little earlier than expected.

DELUXEWARE's standard MILC-00 is a long-sleeve thermal based on the single-sided vertical knit thermal adopted by the US Navy in the 1940s.

The original honeycomb thermal fabric knitted in Wakayama has an exquisite balance, being excellent at retaining air and providing warmth without feeling overly thick. It can be worn alone in early autumn and as an inner layer in winter, making it useful for a long season.

Thermals that are too soft can be prone to stretching and losing their shape, while those that are too stiff often leave a lot to be desired in terms of comfort and elasticity. In this regard, the MILC-00 excels in the balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.

Another appealing aspect is how it conforms to the body and gradually develops more character with repeated wear and washing. It's a classic DELUXEWARE item that can be enjoyed for a long time, unaffected by trends.
