UNION and NEEDLES Unite for Reconstructed Tees
Using vintage college tees.
UNION and NEEDLES are not strangers to one another, having collaborated on several different occasions ranging from suits to casual button-down shirts and even tees. Now the two entities are continuing their longstanding friendship by aligning UNION and NEELDES’ Rebuild by NEEDLES sublabel on a batch of tees.
The NEEDLES sublabel focuses on reconstructing previously mass-produced vintage garments for an extra special touch. Typically, the label has centered used tees with college prints, although different styles have been included in the mix as well. Crafted for UNION TRUNK SHOW, the new range of tees sees the label’s signature rebuilt styling across a selection of multicolored tees. Appearing in the offering are tees that utilize DUKE’s Blue Devils Athletics, the University of Washington, the United States Naval Academy and more.
The tees also feature special detailing that includes yellow stitching (a UNION brand signature) and the original UNION logo, which appears on the chest. Take a look at the new offering in the gallery above.
Priced at ￥13,200 JPY (about $92 USD) each, the UNION x Rebuild by NEEDLES for UNION TRUNK SHOW collaboration is set to release on Monday, August 7.
