Description

A crew-neck sweatshirt made in Wakayama, Japan, of 100% cotton on vintage loop wheel machines, which are known to weave a sluggish pace, with only a single meter of fabric produced every hour. When compared to contemporary manufacturing methods, Loopwheel machines apply a very low thread tension allowing the production of an exceedingly premium and unique fabric.

The resulting material feels like it has been hand woven, with a stretchy element to it, a quality that cannot be replicated by modern production techniques. The crucial difference is that Loopwheel fabric is knit in an oval shaped sequence to yield a fabric that will comfortably stretch with wear, but will return to its original dimensions with a wash.

They come with a utilitarian front and back reinforced collar which provides extra support to stop the neck line from stretching out after plenty of wear.  A lighter weight cotton proves for a relaxed fit. They're designed to last for years and will age beautifully over time. The fit is relatively boxy, so take a look at our size guide.

Model is 5'11" and wears size Medium
