03-0031SF-31M - Loopwheel Hooded Sweatshirt - Exclusive No-Print Burgundy
orSlow - Loopwheel Hooded Sweatshirt - Exclusive No-Print Burgundy
Pleased is an understatement when it comes to the fact that we're working with orSlow. They've been on our brand "bucket list" for a while, so when we had a chance to see the line live in New York a few years back...we knew it was only a matter of time. The brand is everything we love - vintage-inspired designs with a modern branding approach and quality at the forefront of their ethos. It's all in the name, as they're the antidote to modern fast fashion...they do things slowly!
You say "loopwheel" and we're there. These are everything expected and more. They're plush on the outside and super soft on the inside with tons of texture. And we mean tons of texture this time. There's a great little fleck in the fabric, unlike anything we've seen in a sweatshirt. The strings are nice and hardy and the ribbing is that orSlow quality we all expect. The character in this piece is in its simplicity. We're all about building better basics, and that's exactly what orSlow has done with the slow, loopwheel process. This red was part of a printed series, but you know how much we love our no-prints. We're the only shop on the planet that has this version of it. This super vintage cut sweatshirt is one of our favorite things in the store at this moment, and probably will be long after it's gone.

Fit Notes: We bought this round a little conservatively as we weren't sure about sizing. Our guess was that everything would fit small, but a lot of the fits are vintage-inspired so they run roomier. Ryan had no problem wearing the (2), and could probably wear a (1). His standard Japanese Size is medium. We have heard word that these shrink though, so you should be careful on the first wash. If you're worried at all, size up one and shrink down in the wash. Shop owner Tommy also wears a size (2). He is 5'10," 162lbs with a 40" chest and normal Japanese size large.
Apparel
Hawaiian Shirt - Ice Tiger
The Hawaiian tiger shirt is forever going to be a Japanese icon. This proprietary fabric Freenote locked down seems to impress year after year. The mixture of the indigo-dyed linen and that gorgeous tiger print is truly perfect. It's such a rich, royal color of indigo and it gives the instant impression of a white tiger. They've finished this beauty off wtih mother of pearl buttons.
The Alamo Shirt - Tiger Heron
The Alamo is a staple for us nearly every year. When they introduce new colors, we all collectively get a little giddy. This year's central color outlier color is this Tiger Heron. It's a wonderful shade of red that's not too in your face. It is kind of the classic red mechanic shirt color you just know when you see it. The corozo nut buttons always give the piece a nice pop of contrast and the construction never fails. The 1/8" single-needle stitching lends to this military-style silhouette. Luckily, this time you can grab the sturdy but soft cotton Alamo in a color that will hold up for a lifetime.
We really, really love the Dotsume pocket tee...but we know they're not for everyone. It takes a lot of effort, and just the right temperature to put on a tee that heavy. When we first laid our hands on the lighter-weight, USA cotton version of it we knew that it carried the same quality in construction and fit, but a more versatile fabric. This pigment process adds so much character to the shirt and is a special edition for SS23.
This version of the pocket T-shirt is made from cotton which is mainly produced in the cotton-growing area of the Mississippi River basin in the United States. Air spinning produces a cotton fluff with a length of 13 mm to 33 mm which then becomes yarn by centrifugal force. This creates a crisp texture. They also feature traditional details from the 1890s including the oversized pocket and W stitching. The flash gusset on the bottom of the pocket is a special specification that's meant to reduce sweat from moistening the inside of the pocket.

If you're looking for the densest pocket tee on the market, here it is. We've had tees from some of the hardiest manufacturers out there, and they don't hold a candle to these Dotsume tees. They honestly blew us away. This type of tee shirt makes you purge all the weaker, lower-quality versions from your closet. This round, they partnered with the infamous Lavenham for the pocket detail. It's a wonderful "techy" upgrade to give the shirt an even more contemporary feel. They're pretty damn cool in person, we must admit.
A collaboration model completed by the UK's leading factory brand "LAVENHAM" and the Japanese factory brand "Jackman" focuses on each other's strong points. It is a collaboration of factories for more than 50 years, in which brands are connected by diamonds polished from rough stones. This is a combination of Jackman's unique Tianzhu material and Lavenham's unique quilted pockets.
