High zip hoodie using "LW Light hanging fleece". It features a beautiful rise of the hood and a clean silhouette. Flat seams are used in the right places for a comfortable fit, easy layering, and a variety of styling options. Brand description: ``The world's most authentic sweatshirt.'' With this in mind, LOOPWHEELER was started in 1999. We only send out to the world "comfortable" loop-knitted items created by skilled craftsmen. Why is that possible? Craftsmen with rich experience in loop knitting machines and sewing. This is because we have solid technical capabilities and a production factory that are born from the bonds with people involved in all processes. We produce sweatwear that is proudly made in Japan, and continue to create a new world view of loop-knit fabrics with our original intention. Until the mid-1960s, the "loop knitting machine" was a very common knitting machine for producing sweatshirt fabric. The most important characteristic of the finished fabric can be summed up in one word: "softness." As a garment that closely resembles human skin, and as training wear, loop-knit fabric retains its properties even after repeated washing, making it ideal as a material for sweatshirts and T-shirts. However, as the era of mass production and mass consumption for clothing entered the era, and a production system focused on efficiency was established, the loop knitting machine gradually disappeared. For example, "hanging fleece" can only be knitted at 1 meter per hour, and craftsmen must constantly adjust the knitting machine, so many factories have introduced the latest computer-controlled knitting machines. So, we increased production efficiency. Currently, there are approximately 400 loop knitting machines in Wakayama, Japan, of which approximately 200 are in operation. The production process, which requires the skills of skilled workers (knitting, repair, maintenance, etc.), may indeed be at the height of inefficiency. However, there is a true manufacturing attitude here. Sweatshirts and T-shirts, which we casually wear every day, are the closest to our skin.He perfects the "comfort" of layered items through his best processes in materials, design, patterns, and sewing. Masu. Sweatshirts made before the 60's are loved as vintage items throughout the ages. These fabrics are made using a loop knitting machine and can be worn for many years without fading. Being able to wear one piece of clothing comfortably and retaining its texture over many years, it is possible to pass on the taste to the next generation. And for that purpose, we will preserve the background of the production site into the future. This is why we at LOOPWHEELER strive to create the "world's most authentic sweatshirt."
