Our 7.5oz loopwheel cotton t-shirt, finished with an Iron Heart chest and back print. Made from 100% cotton, the loopwheeled fabric is knitted on vintage "tsuriam-ki" machines in Wakayama, Japan - one of only two factories in the world still manufacturing authentic loopwheel cloth. This low-tension, circular knitting technique produces very soft, tubular pieces of fabric, allowing for a garment to be constructed without any side seams. Each T-shirt is then cut, sewn and printed in the historic Shitamachi (“Old Town”) district of Tokyo.
