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 labor of love, but the result is a tough, soft, and airy fabric that’s full of character and exudes a premium feel.
The fabric is yarn-dyed, ensuring these hoodies fade and age beautifully over years of wear. 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 pullstrings at the hood and ribbing at the cuffs and hem.
Please note: These “V2” hoodies are sized larger than last year’s. Please consult our size guide and our “How We Measure” page before placing an order.
