Up for sale here is a shirt from the Burgus Plus label, the house label of the Hinoya shop out of Ueno, Tokyo. Hinoya is well known as being one of the go-to places for denim in Tokyo. They stock many of the heavy hitters, and Burgus Plus themselves have collaborated with some of the big names like Warehouse and Oni among others. The Burgus Plus line skews pretty strongly to the denim and workwear side of things, although they do produce a nice full range of clothing. Their pieces are always substantial and very well-made, easily rivaling the big names out there.
This is the Burgus Plus version of the classic solid tee. As usual, they’ve done an excellent job, where they incorporate all of the details you would look for and then some. Fabric is a heavier weight than your typical tee, making this nicely resilient and ensuring a long lasting piece. Neckline is reinforced with two layers of stitching. Pocket is likewise reinforced with extra stitching as well as bar tacks on both sides of the pocket entrance. Flat felled stitching is used throughout as well. All of these details lean toward the more subtle but are in the service of making the strongest piece possible.
Every aspect of the shirt has been well considered, while at the same time keeps everything simple enough to be timeless and classic. Burgus pieces are pretty difficult to track down, especially outside of Japan, but get it here at the cheapest price around.
Size is labeled a large and fits more like a medium. I measure the chest at 19.5” / 50cm, shoulders at 16.5” / 43cm and length at 25” / 65cm. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
