Brand & Maker Overview

Tieasy Authentic Classic

A boatneck cut-and-sew staple, made through every step in East Japan.

Tieasy Authentic Classic is a Japanese cut-and-sew brand launched in 2009. Knitting, dyeing, cutting and sewing are all done in East Japan, and the brand continues to craft fabrics with rare, WWII-era knitting machines. One of its signature materials, "ORGANIC SRAB COTTON," starts with US organic cotton. The cotton is spun in Japan, then knitted, dyed and sewn in East Japan with a slow, low-stress approach that brings a soft, full handfeel. From the iconic boatneck basque shirts to tees, thermals, cardigans, pants, and goods, the lineup stays simple and easy to mix into everyday outfits.

Why We Love It

If you are new to Tieasy, start with the boatneck basque shirt. te001 (HDCS) has a dense, sturdy feel, plus side slits and a wide neckline that make it easy to slip on. te002 (ORGANIC SRAB COTTON) adds a gentle slub texture from US organic cotton — great as an inner layer in cooler months and comfortable on its own when it warms up. On hot days, te500 (SUMMER KNIT) is an easy pick for a light, smooth boatneck tee. When the air turns cold, te601 (SUPER THERMAL) works as an inner layer in winter, and it also looks confident on its own — thanks to the ribbed cuffs and piping at the hem.

PROFILE About the Company / Workshop

Tieasy Authentic Classic focuses on the basics — plain cut-and-sew pieces that feel right in everyday life. Since launching in 2009, the brand has stayed close to that simple idea.

All key steps happen in East Japan, from knitting to sewing. Tieasy also values fabric-making with rare legacy machines. A slow, low-stress knitting approach helps create comfort with a quietly durable feel.

The boatneck basque shirt is a mainstay. te001 (HDCS) is known for its dense, sturdy cotton and easy layering. te002 (ORGANIC SRAB COTTON) uses US organic cotton with a slub texture that supports both breathability and warmth across seasons. Add te500 (SUMMER KNIT) for lighter days and te601 (SUPER THERMAL) for colder weather, and you can choose by fabric mood.

You can find the collection at the online store, at the Tieasy concierge store in Sendai, and via dealers in Japan and overseas. The dealer list includes locations in Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, so it can be a fun brand to look for while traveling.

Born in 2009, made through every step in East Japan

Tieasy Authentic Classic keeps knitting, dyeing, cutting and sewing in East Japan. Keeping the whole flow close helps the brand refine comfort and texture in a very hands-on way.

Rare, legacy knitting machines and a distinctive handfeel

The fabrics are made with scarce, WWII-era knitting machines. That approach creates a unique sense of density and a comfortable feel that grows more familiar with wear.

"ORGANIC SRAB COTTON": US organic cotton with a slub touch

This fabric uses US organic cotton, spun in Japan, then knitted, dyed and sewn in East Japan. Slow knitting helps keep the cotton relaxed, creating a soft, puffy feel. The slub texture also plays a part in balancing breathability and warmth.

Boatneck basque shirts as the brand's signature

te001 (HDCS) and te002 (ORGANIC) are the core boatneck styles, finished with small side slits. With sizes designed to fit a wide range of people, they work naturally on bare skin or layered with a shirt.
