The Strip-Stripe T-Shirt is Good Good Good’s newest solution that they have developed to work with the offcuts produced from the regular T-shirt production runs at their 30-year-old heritage manufacturing facility in Woodstock, Cape Town. This patchwork tee is made from 100% Southern African-sourced cotton single jersey strips, cut from offcuts and deadstock fabric from their factory floor.
The manufacturing process behind this T-shirt is arduous. With meticulous attention to detail, offcuts are selected by hand and cut down to strips. Strips need to be sewn together two at a time, then ironed straight, before being added to the rest of the strips. Eventually, the sheet of Strip-Stripe fabric is large enough to cut the panels of the T-shirt from.
The T-shirts are finally cut, made and trimmed in Good Good Good’s Heavy T-Shirt silhouette. Each Strip-Stripe T-Shirt is completely unique. While the strips are set to fray, adding character as the tee is worn more, the T-Shirt is constructed to last and maintain its shape.
