A brand-new piece turns into something that looks worn in for years.
Here is the finish, step by step.
Fabric
T-shirts and long sleeves use 16-count high-twist yarn, ring-spun. We deliberately choose a slightly coarse yarn and twist it hard.
The fabric is a plain jersey knit of about 6 to 6.5 oz. It is dry, with a firm hand.
Sweatshirts and hoodies use French terry, with rib at the sides. The sewing follows vintage construction.
Inkjet and screen printing are brought together in a single graphic.
A cracked print, like the cracking of vintage goods. That is where we put our effort.
We blend our own original ink for screen printing, then layer inkjet over it. Four or more steps for one piece.
Stitching
Hems and sleeves use the old-fashioned single stitch, not a twin needle. The stitches show up as small dots.
Dyeing and washing
After garment dyeing, each piece is washed with a method called ball bio.
The damage is done by hand.
A brand-new piece ends up looking worn in for years.
What is auto screen printing?
A machine screen-prints automatically. It suits printing the same design in volume, quickly.
The size of the machine sets the printable area.
THE SUGAR PUNCH's large prints cannot be printed within that area.
