-From the organizer-

"If there was a railroad work knit in the 1920s."

Rail knit is a product created based on the concept:

The easy-to-put-on and take-off Henley neck is one of the common features of this era, and the 6/4 sleeves and special pique knit give it a stylish look.

However, this product did not exist at the time.

This design was created based on a hypothesis.

As you research the historical background and working environment, the shape will naturally emerge.

At Dalley's & Co., we rarely produce replica products that are exactly as they were at the time.

"The developmental creation of those days can still be seen today" - this is the idea and project of Dalley's, the project I am involved in called Sosaku Vintage.

 

Also, one of the thoughts at the time was to change the spelling of "K" and "C"

There is a trend to delete it, so we have applied it as is to the naming.
