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.


































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.
