We make our short sleeve CAL by TADD® V-neck a little differently than most. We love working in all cotton and then we use special dye techniques to achieve a weathered and vintage feeling. The challenge is, it still needs to stay soft to the skin. Luckily, we work with skilled artisans who give us both. Combining fashion and function, under the ribbed V neck trim we add a rolled raw-edge jersey, that we miter with the rib. At the shoulder, we add a contrast chain stitch for another subtle accent. Stronger accents, also in chain stitch, pop at the sleeve hem and at the bottom hem. The label is stitched through at the back neck for one more small artisanal touch. For a long sleeve version, see the CHIP by TADD®.

We knit soft-to-the-touch cotton/poly jersey for DEX by TADD^® short sleeve V-neck tee, and when we garment dye it, each component takes the dye tonally to create a special washed-down heather. We use the same yarn to knit the matching short rib for the neck. The spade-point patch pocket is from the same jersey as the body. We finish with tonal chain stitching at the sleeve and bottom hems.

AL by TADD^® is not for everyone. But If you are bored with the “same old, same old,” we suggest that this rugged, weathered, soft-handed short sleeve T-Shirt with raw edges at the collar trim is a pretty terrific alternative. The trim is sewn down so it won’t unravel away, but the color will stay faded, and the high/low from the slub is knitted right into the fabric. Say hello to your new rough and ready buddy.
