Our tiger carries crimson war-marks across its brow and spine — scars of every winter survived — and eyes that burn like embers in the dark. It steps out of a bamboo thicket mid-storm, unbothered, deliberate, already decided.
Wearing Byakko isn't about noise. It's a quiet flex — for the ones who let the work speak.
Not a stock graphic. An original hand-inked illustration in the sumi-e tradition — read it stroke by stroke.
Blood-red eyes lock straight ahead — the single burst of pure colour in a black-and-white world. It's the first thing anyone sees, and the last thing they forget.
Slashes of crimson cut across the coat like fresh war-paint — a warning drawn in brushstroke, echoing the hachimaki headband of a warrior ready to move.
Hand-splashed sumi-e bamboo frames the prowl. The forward paw and lowered head say it all — silent, patient, already on the hunt.
We refuse to print on cheap cotton. The Heavy Tee 5080 is the blank streetwear labels quietly build on — structured, boxy, and made to outlive the trend.
Mid-heavyweight 100% combed cotton. A dense, structured hand-feel that drapes with weight — never thin, never see-through.
Boxy body with dropped shoulders and a wide chest. The true street silhouette — size down one for a regular fit.
Ribbed set-in collar, shoulder-to-shoulder taping and side-seams that keep their shape wash after wash.
Preshrunk, garment-ready cotton. What you fit on day one is what you keep for years.
The artwork is printed with premium DTG at high resolution so every whisker, every ink-splatter and every red slash stays razor-sharp — no muddy edges, no thick plastic patch.
It's cured directly into the fabric, so it moves like part of the tee and holds its detail wash after wash.

“The weight on this is unreal — feels like something that costs triple. The tiger looks even better in person, the red hits hard.”
“Copped it for the art, kept wearing it for the fit. Oversized but still clean. Washed it 4 times, zero cracking.”
“Best drop I've bought this year. The print detail on that heavy cotton is next level. Get your size before it's gone.”
The AS Colour 5080 is a boxy, oversized cut with dropped shoulders. For a relaxed street look, take your usual size. Want a more regular fit? Size down one. Full garment measurements are in the size guide above.
No. It's a premium DTG print cured directly into the cotton — not a stick-on transfer. Wash cold and inside-out, hang or tumble low, and it'll keep its detail and colour for years.
