9983 - Loopwheel Crewneck Sweatshirt - Indigo Dyed
Studio D'Artisan - 9983 Loopwheel Crewneck Sweatshirt - Indigo Dyed
It's pretty uncanny that this is our first ever indigo-dyed sweatshirt. But, we couldn't think of a better brand from which to be introducing it. Studio's loopwheel cotton is known the world over as being knitted on one of the only Circular Knit French Loopwheel factories in the world (in Wakayama). What makes this fluffy fabric so great? It's made slowly and meticulously on these vintage machines. It's a heavy-duty cotton with tons of warmth on the inside, and tons of character on the outside - the rope-dyed indigo insures this. It's going will fade with time and become even more beautiful, in our opinion, when the true nature of the indigo reveals itself.

Fit Notes: Most of our Japanese brands are considered to have a small fit. On this bad boy, we also recommend sizing up. Tommy is wearing a large in the pics and it fits pretty well. He could size down to a medium for a more trim fit in the body, but for a more easy-going fit he would stick with the large. Tommy is 5'10," 162lbs with a 40" chest.

This one has been on the list for some time. A modified Type III is the holy grail for us. Yes, we love the classics, and unfettered type iii's and ii's will always have a special place in the world of fashion; but, if you put handwarmer pockets on a hamburger...it's going to become the best damn hamburger in the world. Iron Heart's 21oz denim is what they're known for, but we don't always get to see it in this gorgeous superblack fabric. It's tough as nails, stays darker for longer than your typical black selvedge, and has all the signature Iron Heart details for which we thirst. If you've been waiting on this jacket to land, don't skip it. We probably won't be able to get it again for some time. Scope all the details below.
We fell in love with Iron Heart's Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel wovens last year...a love affair that continues into the crew neck. It's a killer new iteration on the Ultra Heavyweight series that we think a lot of you have been waiting for. It's built with a little bit more length in the body which will likely pay off after the first wash and dry. We have found their slightly lighter counterpart to be one of the most versatile pieces in the lineup, and we see this being no different. The only changeup is that you can wear this as a final layer piece on those 40 degree and up days. We have a very good feeling about these babies.

It's been some time since we've had indigo denim from Freenote, and we couldn't think of a better introduction than this blue/brown. If you know anything about our preferences, you know we love an earth-tone weft. Well, it doesn't get any more earthy than this. The brown on these is deeper than any we've seen from persimmon, turmeric, or catechu dyes in the past. It's a true mocha-colored brown that we think makes for one hell of a stylistic denim. The contrast between indigo and brown is a lot less harsh than that of a traditional jean, and this makes for a better-looking cuff in our opinion. It's also right in our sweet spot for weight. We really dig anything between 14-16oz. It has the perfect amount of crunch to give you all of those wonderful lines around the legs without being so hard to break in. This is the fabric we've been waiting for Freenote to work with for years!
