The Real McCoy’s pullover hoodies are knit at a low yield and slow pace using vintage hanging loopwheelers. These machines operate at a glacial speed, relying almost entirely on the pull of gravity to move the fabric along.
Loopwheeling is such an intricate process that it’s closer to hand knitting than industrial production. Each hanging loopwheeler is managed by an expert well-versed in the machine’s quirks and idiosyncrasies. It’s a labour of love, but the result is a tough, soft, and airy fabric that’s full of character and exudes a premium feel.
These raglan hoodies have been slowly and repeatedly washed down for a more vintage look. It’s a slow process, but it results in a more natural fade than any chemical alternative. The wash process also imparts subtle signs of wear for that authentically aged finish. This version draws inspiration from the faded blue jersey worn by The Great Escape's Captain Hilts, famously portrayed by the late Steve McQueen. Finished with drawstrings at the hood and ribbing at the cuffs and hem.
