“Tsuriami-ki” refers to traditional hanging loopwheel machines. There are relatively few of these machines still in operation, with the finest examples found in Japan’s Wakayama prefecture. Their slow, gravity-fed knitting process produces fabrics of exceptional quality and beauty—textures and characteristics that are nearly impossible to replicate with modern industrial methods.
The Real McCoy’s utilise this time-honoured technique to create the 10oz cotton fabric used in their Sweaters. The fabric is tough and textured on the outside, with a soft, insulating loopback knit on the inside. It is yarn-dyed black, meaning you can expect subtle fading and colour variation as the sweater naturally ages. The design is finished with a quarter zip at the collar, along with ribbing at the cuffs and hem.
Elliot wears size Large sweater. He is 185cm tall and weighs 74kg / 6ft 1" and 163 lbs.
