SKU 02 · Summer Body Tank
Wordmark + Wink

Summer body lead. Retail $85. This page explores every credible variation for SKU 02 across 3 dimensions. The CANON badge marks the production-playbook configuration; everything else is decision-fork material, rejected register, or RC02+ colorway exploration.

RC01 canonBC 3483 · Obsidian ground · Pearl DTF chest wordmark ~10cm + ê at nape ~2cm

Decision 2 · Three options side by side

From decisions dashboard D2. The question: what anchors the tank on the body when seen from the front?

Option A · Nape only

Tone-on-tone ê at nape. No chest graphic. Margiela-quietest. Risk: unbranded-blank read at retail.

Option B · Side-seam SUMMER

Vertical SUMMER wordmark down side seam. Requires additional registration tolerance, adds cost, fussy for the tank.

CANON

Option C · Nape + chest · RECOMMENDED

Preserves Always Tee wordmark grammar at smaller scale. Single DTF station. Tank holds its weight on first glance.

Option D · RR chest pocket

RR monogram at chest-pocket-zone. Rejected — competes with SKU-5 heritage patch placement.

Wordmark scale on the tank

The tank's extended armhole compresses visible chest area. Scale has to account for that.

8 cm · quiet

Very subtle. Reads as label at retail.

CANON

10 cm · CANON

Production-playbook spec. Smaller than Always Tee because tank armhole compresses visible chest.

12.5 cm · tee-parity

Matches SKU-01 scale. Looks aggressive on the narrower tank silhouette.

ê wink placement · nape exploration

The wink is what rewards the second look. Placement at nape vs chest tests the brand's 'signature made autonomous' thesis.

CANON

Nape · 2 cm · CANON

Back-of-neck. Wearer cannot see it; everyone behind them can.

Chest centered · 15 cm

Decision 1 Option B rejected home. Still usable on SKU-2 if SKU-5 goes Heritage Patch.

Chest-left · 5 cm

Chest-pocket zone. Reads as quiet label placement.
