Jamiroquai’s JOURNAL STANDARD relume Fade Print T-Shirts Give Each Colorway Its Own Print Technology
Black glows in the dark, Yellow has a flock texture, and all three are built on open-end jersey with fading and grinding processes that make every piece unique.
Summary
- JOURNAL STANDARD relume has launched a pre-order collaboration T-shirt with Jamiroquai, delivering mid-July 2026
- Each colorway receives a distinct print treatment: glow-in-the-dark pink print on Black, standard vintage finish on White, and three-dimensional flock print on Yellow
- The base is open-end jersey treated with a special softening process alongside fading and grinding to recreate the aged feel of vintage clothing, with each piece varying slightly in damage and texture
JOURNAL STANDARD relume is once again teaming up with Jamiroquai for a collaborative collection. The three-colorway release assigns a distinct print technology to each color: a glow-in-the-dark pink print to Black, a standard vintage finish to White, and a three-dimensional flock print to yellow, building the collaboration’s creative argument through material variation rather than a single graphic applied uniformly across all three.
The construction starts at the base material and works outward. Open-end jersey provides the foundation — a fabric known for its firm, dry hand feel that gives the garment structure before any processing begins. A special softening treatment then works against that firmness, introducing a pliability that brings the jersey closer to the feel of a worn-in vintage piece. Fading and grinding processes follow, applying visual and tactile aging to the surface that recreates the depth of something worn over many years rather than the flat, even look of a new garment. Because these processes are applied manually rather than by machine uniformity, each piece will carry a slightly different degree of damage and texture — a variation the brand frames as a feature rather than an inconsistency.
The print decisions layer on top of that base in three different directions. The Black colorway carries a vintage finish alongside a glow-in-the-dark print: a pink graphic that stores light in bright conditions and releases it as a faint glow in darkness. The glow weakens gradually with repeated washing, which means the Black tee’s most distinctive feature has a lifespan rather than a fixed state. The White colorway receives the most straightforward treatment of the three, a vintage finish print that lets the aged base material carry the full visual weight. The Yellow B colorway introduces flock printing, a technique that builds three-dimensional texture directly into the graphic surface, giving the design a tactile dimension that neither the Black nor White versions have. Three colorways, three print technologies, one base material subjected to the same aging process — the collection rewards owning all three rather than picking one.
The relaxed silhouette keeps the construction accessible. The width is balanced rather than oversized, sitting in a range that works both as a standalone piece and as a layering option. The staff note describes the Black colorway specifically as having a slightly grayish tint rather than a flat black, which is a direct consequence of the fading process and reflects what the open-end jersey base looks like after the aging treatments have been applied.
Pre-orders for the Jamiroquai x JOURNAL STANDARD relume Fade Print T-Shirt collection are set to release mid-July.
