The use of century-old looms is not a gimmick; Dehen continues the brand promise that began in 1920: sturdy and durable.

We've always considered plain T-shirts versatile and practical. But while we enjoy their convenience, we also tend to view them as consumables, throwing them away when they become loose or replacing them when they become deformed: "It's cheap anyway, so I don't mind if they break." However, early American-made products were the exact opposite. Manufacturers constantly experimented with various fabrics and weaving methods, trying every possible way to extend the life of the clothing, hoping that consumers would use them as long as possible.

As of 2022, Dehen still adheres to this idea. In his century-old factory in Portland, he uses the circular knitting machines that have woven countless high-quality garments in the past to continue to produce ideal products, which is almost contrary to the business model of today's large clothing companies.

In recent years, as various cultural heritages are increasingly valued around the world, these high-quality items have once again attracted attention. Even the simplest items have extraordinary significance in terms of quality, workmanship, and even historical background.

Authentic quality is the hallmark of the Dehen 1920 label, and our Heavy Duty Tee is no exception. Made from cotton jersey fabric knit, cut and sewn in the USA, this shirt is crafted to be the best and most versatile tee in your closet. Keeping true to our heritage, we balanced our classic, no-frills approach with an uncompromising attention to detail, producing a garment rugged enough to shoulder a day's work, but refined enough to accompany your favorite cardigan or sport coat. Light enough to wear on a hot summer day, but - like all Dehen products - built to stand the test of time.
