The Loopwheel Easy Sweatshirt from Allevol takes inspiration from a 1950s U.S. Naval Academy training piece — originally printed with the academy’s emblem and the motto “Scientia Tridens.” For this updated version, Allevol have stripped back the details to focus on what really matters: comfort, fabric, and craftsmanship. Made in Japan on vintage loopwheel machines, the Easy Sweatshirt is constructed from a mid-weight, soft fleece that feels substantial yet breathable. The relaxed fit features raglan sleeves for freedom of movement, a bound crew neck, and ribbed cuffs and hem for a clean, timeless finish. The absence of side seams is a hallmark of authentic loopwheel construction — offering both comfort and durability. Loopwheel fabric is created using slow, low-tension knitting machines, producing cotton that’s incredibly soft with a natural stretch. Only around 400 loopwheel machines remain in operation in Wakayama, Japan, making this method one of the rarest and most sought-after in the world.
