Born from a deep reverence for mid-century American athletic wear, Dubble Works was originally launched in 1999 as the stylish sister brand to the legendary Warehouse & Co.! Today, the label operates under the direction of Sankei Meriyasu, a historic knitting manufacturer established back in 1926 that once supplied gym uniforms to the Imperial House of Japan. Their philosophy centers around recreating the authentic, unpretentious charm of 1950s sportswear while subtly refining the fit for a modern wardrobe. By refusing to compromise on old-world production methods, they deliver everyday staples with a nostalgic, fluffy texture that fast fashion simply cannot replicate. Serving as one of the last true outposts of a fading textile era, the company is proudly based in Osaka, Japan.
Dubble Works is famous for operating machinery that most modern factories abandoned decades ago. They thoughtfully source unique "waste cotton" and recycled yarns to naturally recreate the uneven, slubby texture found in genuine vintage garments. Their signature pieces are knitted on incredibly rare, 1920s-era "Marudo" circular knitting machines. Because these vintage machines knit the fabric into a continuous tube at a very slow pace, the resulting t-shirts and sweatshirts feature zero side seams, offering unparalleled comfort and durability that won't twist out of shape over time. Honoring their meticulous commitment to local, in-house craftsmanship, every single step—from spinning the yarn to the final stitching—is handled under their own roof, meaning all Dubble Works clothing is proudly made in Japan.
