"Sweat That Ages Like Sun-Cured Persimmon!"
This 14.5oz sweatshirt is slowly woven on a vintage “open-end” knitting machine, giving the fabric an uneven, firm texture and a silky-smooth hand feel. The cotton yarns are first thread-dyed in deep indigo, and then skilled Japanese artisans use the traditional Japanese “Kakishibu” hand-dyeing technique (with dye sourced from persimmon juice) to dye the entire garment by hand. As a result, the sweatshirt already has a brownish vintage vibe when brand new. With wear and washing, the indigo colour will fade just like Samurai’s raw denim, while the Kakishibu dye will age beautifully under sunlight, gradually developing a warmer tone.
Speaking of details, this sweatshirt features vintage-spec "V" inserts on the front and back, as well as comfortable ribbing fabric on the collar, cuffs and hem to maintain its shape over years of wear.
If you’re looking for one of the best sweatshirts out there, this is definitely one to consider!
