About the Jackman Clothing Brand

Jackman remains rooted in functional design, producing everyday essentials with clean finishes and long-lasting materials. All production is kept in-house at the Fukui factory, ensuring strict quality control at every stage of the process.

About Jackman Clothing

Jackman Factory Craftsmanship: Dotsume & Loopwheel

What sets the Jackman Japan factory apart is the use of high-density fabrics. The brand’s Dotsume jersey is knitted slowly on original machines to create a thick material that resists shrinkage and keeps its shape for years.

  • Dotsume T-Shirts: Extra-thick 11.5oz cotton with a crisp feel and durable neck ribbing.
  • GG Sweatshirts: Heavyweight loopback jersey inspired by vintage athletic gear.
  • Waffle Mid-Necks: A signature knit style that offers natural stretch and warmth.
  • Headwear: Meticulously stitched caps and beanies designed for a comfortable, versatile fit.

Every piece reflects the heritage of the Fukui factory. For the best comfort, we recommend wearing these with quality RoToTo socks or checking our clothing sale for seasonal offers.
