What to know about Healthknit
An American label now Japanese
Founded in the US in 1900 for cotton underwear and military-issue basics, it faded stateside and was relaunched in Japan, where Tokyo's Healthknit Brands now runs it.
Thermals are the core product
Raschel and honeycomb waffle thermals, henleys, loopwheel sweats and border-stripe jerseys make up most of the range rather than seasonal fashion pieces.
Made in Japan under $100
Most tees and thermals stay below $100 despite Japanese production, and they reach Western shops through Japanese wholesale rather than direct retail.
