IHSW-11-NAV - 14oz Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Cotton Zip Up Sweater - Navy
Iron Heart - Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Cotton Zip Up Sweater - Navy
We fell in love with Iron Heart's Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel wovens last year...a love affair that continues for this zip version. We were so excited to see the veg tan pull up initially thinking this was the hoodie, arriving late. Boy, were we surprised to see the stand-up collar! It's such a brilliant touch for people who want neither a crew neck nor a hoodie. It can be paired as a slightly more dressed-up option here, we think. But make no mistake, this 14oz woven is as rugged as anything Iron Heart makes.
- Made in Japan
- 14oz windproof "Wakayama" loopwheeled cotton fleece
- Stand up collar
- Four needle, Union Special flat stitched seams
- Two-way Universal zipper
- Sleeves are designed to be fairly tight, to avoid wind penetration
- One washed, so minimal or no shrinkage to be expected

Fit Notes: Andrew is wearing a medium in this sweater. He normally wears smalls from other brands. It is just slightly big on him but works as an oversized look. Iron Heart's Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel stuff is always true to size for us, but most people still buy the next size up. If you are in between, size up for sure. If you are unsure, size up one. Basically, just always size up one from IH unless you're confident that your true size will work. Shop owner Tommy is our standard fit model and he wears a medium. He is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.


























Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
