Gomasio Zip-Up Hoodie

<UNITED ARROWS> Exclusive Model Zip-Up Sweatshirt

This zip-up sweatshirt is from a special line, a collaboration between <LOOPWHEELER>, which offers the quintessential sweatshirt experience, and Yuki Kajiwara of <LOWERCASE>.
This <UNITED ARROWS> exclusive model strikes a perfect balance, offering a relaxed fit that is sophisticated enough for adults.
This material is a reinterpretation by <LOOPWHEELER> of a rare fabric, known as “Gomasio” (or 'salt and pepper') in vintage apparel due to its speckled, frosty appearance, recreated as loopwheeled fleece. To achieve its unique aesthetic, the face yarn incorporates charcoal TOP yarn and undyed yarn fed in parallel into a single loop, while the middle and back yarns are crafted from undyed thread.
Beyond its visual appeal, a significant feature is the softness and distinctive texture exclusive to Gomasio loopwheeled fleece, which differs from LW Light loopwheeled fleece.
At Kanekichi Kogyo, where <LOOPWHEELER>'s renowned loopwheeled fleece is knitted, only a single loopwheel machine is capable of producing this specific Gomasio loopwheeled fabric.
This material is truly a testament to technical mastery, perfected by contemporary artisans who have dedicated themselves to the loopwheel knitting machine through extensive research and iterative refinement.
