When you get a fella out of retirement to make you a t-shirt it should probably be for a good reason. Here at TRiCKETT, we are always on the hunt for the best jersey-based torso coverings in the world and our new Carlos t-shirts may well be the pinnacle.
Apparently there is only one bloke in the whole world who can make 280gsm fabric which feels soft, looks the part and washes really well. That man is Carlos and he retired to northern Mexico in 2021 after a long career (starting in the 1960s) knitting fabric for the US and Mexican armies. Carlos was busily tending to his garden when he got the call from East Lancashire asking him to go back to our partner factory in Los Angeles and make some fabric for t-shirts. Thankfully, he agreed without hesitation and started sending emails with the updates.
The fabric is heavy, but not like wearing a top made of bricks. It has a wonderful texture which almost looks like ice-cream (you’ll know what we mean when you get one) and it has a really nice fit. The material used is what armies wore back in the day and has a really fancy name that I won’t pretend to know what it means.
This t-shirt really does not exist anywhere else apart from us and I doubt that you will ever want to wear anything else. This one comes in ‘Dodger Blue’ which pays homage to LA’s favourite team and the fact that they have just won back to back World Series, not bad eh? This blue is one of my favourite colours and adds a pop of colour to any outfit.
The shirts are made completely in Los Angeles by a team of people who are paid fairly, have access to health and dental benefits and have a wage increase for every year that they work at the workshop. We have had one of our very best pals audit the factory and they say it is one of the nicest that they have ever visited.
We have restocked these t-shirts many times and they always seem to fly out of the door. So if you want one, don’t mess about!
