Screen greats like Marlon Brando and James Dean made the T-shirt - once an undershirt - popular outerwear. Subsequently, colorful and brightly patterned versions quickly hit the market. Like this straight-cut (regular fit) 1970s-style T-shirt, which not only features vibrant contrasting colors, but is a real eye-catcher thanks to the starkly different stripe widths. Pike Brothers makes the T-shirt from pure, skin-friendly cotton and equips it with a pattern-true chest pocket.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.
