three dots│The "Ultimate Cut and Sew" Created by Three Dots.


A Brand Pursuing the Ultimate Cut-and-Sewn


Three Dots' "Perfect Product"


Launched in 1995 with the concept of "lifestyle dressing," Three Dots is committed to the finest fabrics, design, construction, and fit, with the core philosophy of "creating the best T-shirts." Their cut-and-sewn pieces, born from the perfect execution of this simple idea, offer unparalleled variety and sizing.

What Do the "Three Dots" Signify?



The three dots in the Three Dots logo are designed based on symbols from Western Union's original code, conveying the meaning of "More to follow" – "continuously proposing new things."
And the three dots embody "pure──simple and sophisticated," "effortless──comfortably natural," and "luxury──premium quality derived from the finest materials."

Three Dots' headquarters, which also houses its own factory, is located in Orange County, California. The jersey knit cut-and-sewn items are produced here and sent to market bearing the "made in USA" mark.

For the regular line models, a flatlock stitch machine is used on the sides, shoulders, and armholes to prevent fraying while joining the fabric. This ensures a smooth finish without any snagging against the skin.

Furthermore, instead of woven labels, the brand logo is applied directly to the fabric using heat transfer printing, eliminating any stress when worn directly against the skin. For such simple items, comfort is pursued down to the finest detail.


Three Dots offers a diverse range of products tailored to various needs, including designs like crew necks and V-necks, and a wide selection of cotton materials. It's likely that nothing related to T-shirts falls outside the scope of Three Dots' offerings.

A Rich Lineup of "Classic" Items



While Three Dots now offers a full range of items including pants and shirts, the brand's origin lies in a single T-shirt. Here, we introduce reliable, timeless pieces centered around their T-shirts. The collection features six models: the "New Basic Line," comprising "MATT," "BRAD," and "GEORGE," developed with a pursuit of supreme texture, and the "Regular Line," the foundation of Three Dots, with "JOSH," "KEITH," and "DANIEL."

New Basic Line
The New Basic Line is characterized by its delicate softness and beautiful sheen, achieved by applying unique treatments to the finest cotton. The premium materials and tight fit combine casualness with refined elegance.

"MATT"
The shallow V-neck creates an elegant impression. Made from "sueded jersey," a material with a slightly brushed surface, it offers a delicate feel akin to peach skin. Its comfortably snug fit is another reason for its popularity.

"BRAD"
A V-neck T-shirt is an item that creates a masculine image. While silhouette and color are important, texture also makes a difference. The smooth feel and gentle luster reveal Three Dots' meticulous attention to fabric.

"GEORGE"
This pique knit polo shirt offers a smooth texture distinct from traditional pique. The collar is constructed with a立体感 (three-dimensional feel), ensuring it pairs well even when worn under a jacket.





Regular Line
The classic line since Three Dots' inception. Featuring premium cut-and-sewn items made from high-quality cotton with flatlock stitching. While retaining a sporty feel, the comfortable fit and balanced slim silhouette create a clean image.

"JOSH"
A crew neck T-shirt made from "ring-spun combed cotton," known for its soft feel. The generously sized, highly elastic ribbed collar is also a key feature. Its durable fabric that resists losing its shape and a not-too-tight silhouette make it pair well with denim.

"KEITH"
The "KEITH" V-neck short-sleeve T-shirt offers a sportier texture compared to the similar "MATT." The variations achieved through differences in stitching and fabric texture are part of the brand's appeal.

"DANIEL"
A long-selling cotton hoodie. Its slim, body-hugging silhouette prevents bulkiness when layered. The Three Dots original zipper adds a subtle accent.
