Many try to imitate Joe’s craft, but his process sets him apart. To make a fresh fish print…you have to start with fresh fish. And to get truly fresh fish, you have to be at the source…as in “on the dock” in Gloucester just as Joe’s shop is. From whole swordfish to octopus…if it swims in the North Atlantic it’s probably had a date with Joe’s table. Check ‘em out here: https://fishedimpressions.com The Cotton. Our T’s and Pullovers are made from 100% Tanguis cotton, an indigenous crop grown and processed in Peru. Tanguis is an extra-long staple variety prized for its natural bright-white color and is significantly softer, stronger, and longer lasting than other cottons. It naturally resists pilling, shrinking, and disintegration over time. The Yarn We use combed and ring-spun process for making our slub yarn resulting in a 20/1 weight yarn. The slub spinning process results in an irregular, thick and thin yarn. After the cotton fibers have been spun, they are combed to remove any impurities or imperfect strands. This is step-level change that significantly improves in the quality of the yarn. After that, each cone is yarn dyed in batches to obtain a deep and consistent color throughout the knitted fabric. The Build We use a full cut-and-sew with side seams construction. Our t-shirts and pullovers are designed and tailored to conform to key measurements on the body, including: shoulder point, shoulder drop, chest, mid-section, hem, front length, back length, collar opening, front / back collar drop, armhole, and sleeve length. This is in contrast to the less expensive, “tubular construction”…the one-size-fits-most, cookie-cutter approach to used in mass-production operations.
