Prequel C1008 Henley Cotton Rib L S T Shirt Natural

We’re thrilled to welcome Japanese label Prequel to Wardrobe 19. We first discovered Prequel at a tradeshow in Berlin a few seasons back, where their shirts immediately stood out for their extraordinary fabrics—some of the finest we've ever come across. It was a clear decision: we had to bring them to Copenhagen. Naturally, Prequel hails from Japan 🇯🇵Their shirt-making craft is rooted in deep history, drawing inspiration from a rare 1907 fabric sample book by Claude Fréres (J. & Co., Paris). With microscopic attention to detail, Prequel revives these vintage textiles, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens. __________ This fabric is a cotton reproduction of 1920s wool undergarments, woven with coarse, uneven yarns that create a ribbed, lightweight, and comfortable feel. It offers the character of vintage wool while being softer, easier to wash, and more suitable for daily wear. With repeated washing and use, the fabric becomes even softer and develops a familiar texture over time. Inspired by 1920s wool underwear, it reflects an era before synthetic fibers, when natural materials were standard. Wool was valued for its breathability, moisture absorption, and durability, staying comfortable even when damp. Its long-lasting quality made it a trusted choice in a time when clothing was made to endure.
