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

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

The above is a re-post from DELUXEWARE

The 26FW items have arrived a little early.

DELUXEWARE's standard MILC-00 is a long-sleeved 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 that makes it easy to retain air and excellent in heat retention, while not 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 often cause concern about stretching and losing shape, while those that are too stiff often leave dissatisfaction with comfort and elasticity. In this regard, the MILC-00 has an excellent balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.

Another appeal is that it conforms to the body through repeated wear and washing, gradually increasing in texture. It's a standard DELUXEWARE item that can be worn for a long time, unaffected by trends.
