The design idea behind special cup of tee is to blur the type definition of garment and push the boundary of shaping cloth with 4 openings. It is a tee, a slipover, a pullover, a poncho or etc.. This unique tee features horizontal growing cables, long-short front & back, contrast texture, volumn sleeves and seamless trims.

Special cup of tee is shaped horizontally and worked in cables and stockinette stitch back and forth in one piece.
