If you're an American casual or vintage fashion fan, you’ve probably seen or heard of "Miller Tanktops" or "Miller T-shirts." Officially, the brand is called Robert P. Miller, and it’s been a much-loved American basic knitwear label in Japan since the 1990s.
Known for its unique Panel Rib fabric, this undergarment knit features a drop-needle construction. From tanktops to t-shirts, the brand consistently delivers essential wardrobe pieces. In this article, we’ll dive into the history of Robert P. Miller and showcase both classic staples and the latest arrivals.

American Basic Knitwear with Over 80 Years of Heritage

Let’s begin by looking at the brand’s origins.
The story goes all the way back to 1937 in Arkansas, USA. At the time, Robert P. Miller’s father was running a textile company, and started producing two pieces: the classic white Tanktop and Crewneck Tee, launching a brand named after his son, Robert P. Miller.
The brand later moved its production to a factory in Pennsylvania known as "Mohnton Knitting Mills," where it continued to grow in popularity.
