Foxfibre® Tsuriami Crewneck T-shirt - Coyote 70
Product details
Wonder Looper was founded by industry veterans Risa Saito and Bazad Trinos of Naked & Famous denim (among other projects). With a focus on knitwear, they produce some of the best contemporary cotton knits on the market, manufacturing all of their products entirely in Japan from start to finish. Their pieces are a stellar blend of interesting, unique fabrics and high quality vintage construction details, with excellent fits that lean more true-to-size for Western audiences as well.
The Foxfibre® Tsuriami T-Shirt is an outstanding "basic" knit made from an exceptional cotton fabric on vintage loopwheel machines. Foxfibre®, an organically grown cotton that is naturally brown and requires no dye to achieve its color. Grown here in the USA before being woven into yarn and then knit up in Japan, it's an extremely unique cotton that will age beautifully over time, developing a subtle patina with wear.
Weighing in at a comfortable 228gsm / 6.7oz, lightweight and breathable for the summer, they're made on vintage Japanese Tsuriami (loopwheel) machines. These machines produce fabric very slowly, humming along at just 1 meter per hour and producing about one half roll of fabric in a day. By comparison, a modern knitting machine can blast out about five full rolls in the same amount of time, operating at roughly 10 times the speed of a loopwheeler.
The fabrics created are anything but equal. The "slow and steady" nature of loopwheel machines comes from the gravity-fed nature of the knit - with minimal tension applied, the finished product is light, airy, and remarkably soft from the moment its knit. They're finished with a more contemporary and athletic fit, cut with side seams for a more anatomical shape, sewn up flat on Union Special machines.
Fits true to size. Wash cold on delicate and lay flat to dry.
