- Tezomeya is a little known Japanese brand producing some of the finest hand-dyed loopwheel t-shirts around. The Kyoto-based company has been amazing garments for quite some time now although has been flying under the radar (at least for me).
In this episode I talk more about what Tezomeya do and their unique offering. Enjoy.

Just went to the store in Kyoto. Amazing T-shirt’s and great to see the dying process.
Watching this while wearing my undyed Tezomeya tee. They're really nice, slubby and just the right weight 👏
Definitely something I'll keep on my radar for the future 👊
I love these 😮 I’ll be ordering some in the future for sure
About bloody time, only joking.
Great to see another vid, I like the idea of natural dyes. I prefer, things when they look worn.
Hahah it's been a busy summer
These look very good.
and they feel incredible!
Hi thanks for introducing me to the brand! While I checked the review, the size mentioned is 175 however on their website L seems 185. Little confused
No Way I actually won! How cool! How do I reach you? Can I have my sister reach out to you on IG? I don’t personally have one. Thank you again.
Congrats!
Sure thing that works. Or my email is here: th-cam.com/users/CameronOabout
and congrats again!
great review, i've been looking for other options for loopwheel shirts outside of the usual japanese denim brands. what's the chest measurement on the 175cm shirt if you don't mind checking?
Waiting for this answer too 🤞 their sizing is kind of confusing me
Great review, Cameron. Warehouse and tezomeya, which is better, in your mind
Both! Haha. Depends if you like the shortness of the warehouse. Personally, I wear the Tezo more casually and the Warehouse when I go out or into town.
@@CameronO Thanks for replay Cameron. I think I should try them both.
I still have the tab open for tezomeyo after the last video
Nice review! Gotta add this to my collection. Thanks for the prize, I just DM you for further information 👍🏼
@CameronO, what would you recommend as size between 175 cm and 175 options - I am 6ft 1” and about 180 lbs. I believe I have quite similar measures as yours but Tezomeya sizing is kind of confusing. My usual size is L but while I was watching your video, I guess I should go for 175cm Tezo sizing…
Hi Petar, Sounds like 175cm would be the one for you. I know a friend is similar to me and he went 185 and it was massive. 175cm is perfect for me and I am usually a Large too. Good luck!
@@CameronO did you order a long or a short?
Thanks for the review! May I ask what is your chest size? I have similar height / weight as you but with 105 chest size, I may need to size up to “185 cm”
Hey! How are the shoulders on these shirts? I’m about your size, but my shoulders are a bit broad. I need at least 18 inches from seam to seam across the back.
Have you tried Sunray?
Not as yet, though I have been meaning to. I've spoken to the owner a few times so It's just a matter of time! Have yo tried them?
May I ask where you got the table lamp?
Hey there it's the Tala 'knuckle' table lamp :)
I wonder about their sizing tho, they list 99 cm chest for 175 cm, which sounds a tad tight but the next size is 107 cm chest at 185 cm height, it's as if they're missing a 104 cm chest 180 cm height.
I think a hand-dyed, loopwheeled tee at that price, as well-made as you say, is pretty phenomenal, and I really hope they're turning a decent profit. How sturdy would you say the neck is in comparison to similar brands? Does it look like it would keep its shape well?
I'm also curious about the neckline. I have a few of the Warehouse Ts and they do a great job of holding a tight, neckline shape.
I posted a more in depth comment about my experience with tezomeya on this video, however I do not like their neckline and found it to be not very sturdy. It was cut a little large and would droop when wearing a jacket, as well as crinkle up in some parts. I owned three tezomeya shirts.
@@benjaminking3103 Thanks for the info!
@@benjaminking3103 thanks for the input.
Wich T-Shirt do you wear? Warehouse & Co Lot 4601 Round Neck T-Shirt ?
Correct, 4601 in off white
Iron heart jacket leather unboxing plz 😢😢😅..
Great review, but what's your chest size, please, 175 is listed as 99 cm chest, but it looks quite comfortable on you.
Just remeasured and I'm about 41in (104cm) I would say the 175cm shirt from them fits great though. Not sure what else to say tbh. I wouldn't go larger though if you're about 40/41 chest
@@CameronO thanks, man, I ordered it 175, I reckoned you were thereabouts and it looked big enough for you. Funny, though, I recently had a similar problem with Whitesville grey melange tees, I ordered them in L cuz I got spooked by reviews saying how small they ran and they were way too big for my liking, had to exchange them for M.
is the t-shirt from this brand traslucent?
Do they shrink?
Not seen it on mine but I did see some issues with the dye fading unevenly. Doing an update video this weekend.
Can some recommend a premium quality sock brand
I’m not sure if they are premium, but I really like both stance and chup socks.
I like Woolrich and Darn Tough Socks as a solid boot sock
Great suggestions. I've only really tried two types. Chup and Studio D'artisan boot socks. I found the SDA ones best for me with boots. The Chup ones weren't as good and i've actually worn through one pair rather quickly. Will be trying something new this winter.
Dress socks or casual to be worn with boots?
Whats that white T your wearing Cameron?
I was wondering the same thing!
Hi lads. It's the Warehouse & Co 4601 in off white. They are lovely, though cut very short in the body.
@@CameronO It's that short cut I'm liking. Thanks for the info.
@@CameronO The shoulders fall really nicely too.
To be honest, I don't really like Tezomeya. I used to own three of their t-shirts. Firstly, this is purely my opinion, but I don't like how they look. For jeans, I understand wanting some slub, but on t-shirt, I feel that it just looks quite sloppy. It looks like the t-shirt is really badly piling and makes it look worn out rather than "worn in." Moreover the collar crinkles up and appears bacon-y and I found that it is quite large too, so when wearing a jacket the shirt tends to fold outwards at the neck and droop down at the neck. Secondly, I found the t-shirts extremely uncomfortable- namely itchy. The collar tag is terrible and the edges of the tag would constantly poke at my neck/ back and the slub on the inside of the tees felt like I was constantly getting poked by a prickly plant. The itch was absolute terrible, and outweighed any "softness" gained from loopwheeling, which I didn't really notice a considerable difference as compared to non loopwheeled t-shirts anyways. I think sometimes in this genre of fashion, the story or ethos of a brand is a little over romanticized, and I do not believe that Tezomeya lives up to the hype.
Thanks for this - you saved me the hassle, expense and disappointment of ordering these from Japan. Will stick to Sunray Sportswear. Also interested in Allevol from Clutch Cafe
Agreed, thanks for this good insight. I'm going to pay attention to the collar more so now. I totally get what you mean about thr worn out look. I got that from the RMC loopwheel shirt. The other half said it looked rubbish. It's a fine line so keen to see how this one looks after a while too. I saw these this week and was keen to see how they go as well - www.wildfrontiergoods.com/product-page/natural-kakishibu-loopwheel-t-shirt If you reach out to them they do any colour much like Tezo.
@@CameronO If someone were up for it, they could buy a white Old But Gold or unbleached Tezo. Then some real natural kakishibuzome from Japan and do it themselves for 1/5 the cost.
I have no artistic experience, but did this myself and it was a lot of fun with little time and effort. Of course it would be wise to practice on a cheap shirt first 😀
Slub is a type of yarn. Tezomeya does not use slub yarn. They do use the reverse side of the fabric though. I think this is for aesthetic reasons. Almost all the knit products of Tezomeya are inside out. Also I’ve owned Tezomeya products over 10+ years and I’ve never found the collar to be as you describe it as “bacon-y”. I’ve seen plenty of other Japanese brands use ribbing on the collar which is a cheaper way to do it instead of using the base knit fabric. I mean it’s a T-shirt after all it’s supposed to be a little sloppy.
i can tell right away by the collar that over time it will not hold up. i see another comment below that had the issue so it’s a further save my money type situation. the wait time was also a set back because imo there’s nothing really special about these. is the cotton labeled as certified organic or are they simply saying it’s organic? that’s another thing being thrown around lately. there’s no guarantee unless it’s certified…
Actually they hold up just fine. The tees are made with 100% Fox Fiber cotton.
