Allevol Loopwheel Easy Sweatshirt Black
Here we have the Loopwheel Easy Sweatshirt from Allevol, introduced for the first time this Autumn/Winter 22.
The Easy Sweatshirt from Allevol is inspired by a particular 1950’s sweatshirt issued by the U.S. Naval Academy with their emblem printed across the chest and with the slogan ‘Scientia Tridens’ – the U.S. Naval motto.
These have been simplified by Allevol to emphasise the comfort of loopwheel construction and paired back design. Cut in Japan using a quality, mid-weight loopwheel fleece, the Easy Sweatshirt features a bound crew neck collar with raglan sleeves for ease of movement. These have been paired with ribbed hems and cuffs while the lack of side seams showcases the uniqueness of loopwheel construction.
Loopwheel machines manufacture cotton with a very low thread tension that allows for the production of a premium and unique fabric with the end result being an incredibly comfortable garment. There are only around 400 loopwheel machines remaining in Wakayama, Japan with half of these in use at any given time. These were the standard from the 1920’s – 1960’s until manufacturing methods gave way for efficiency and cost.
