What to know about Whitesville
Whitesville is a Japanese heritage sportswear label operated by Tokyo-based Toyo Enterprise, the group behind Buzz Rickson's, Sugar Cane and Sun Surf. Toyo licensed the dormant mid-century American name in 2007 and reproduces its catalogue entirely in Japan: loopwheel two-pack T-shirts, heavyweight sweatshirts and hooded parkas, thermals, and chain-stitched Melton wool and leather award jackets. Sweatshirts typically run 18,000-22,000 yen and varsity jackets approach 800 dollars. Demand spiked after Jeremy Allen White wore the two-pack tees in The Bear.
