These sweatshirts are loopwheeled in the Kanekichi workshops of Wakayama, Japan—one of only two ateliers in the world still operating a functional circular loopwheel machine. The sweater’s heavyweight fabric is the result of a slow, low-yield knitting process. This meticulous method—spurred by little more than gravity—produces a garment with an exceptional fit and unbeatable softness.
To celebrate their 45th anniversary, Studio D’Artisan has painstakingly hand dip-dyed these limited-edition sweatshirts in alternating vats of indigo and Amami mud pigments. The combination of centuries-old “Dorozome” and indigo dying dyeing processes creates a deep brown, almost black finish with a subtle glimmer of midnight blue—a stunning testament to Studio D’Artisan’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship and dyeing techniques.
