Loop & Weft Tompkins Knit Flat Seam After Hoodie – Green

The Loop & Weft Tompkins Knit Flat Seam After Hoodie is made of fabric produced on the legendary Tompkins upright rotary knitting machine and is one of the very last of its kind. The operator of these vintage machines is retiring, so this is the final season where Tompkins knit products will be seen. Developed during the mid-1800s the Tompkins, is incredibly inefficient but produces a fabric that is similar in texture and weight to the excellent jersey knit of the late 1800s. Unlike modern circular knitting machines that normally knit from top to bottom at high speed, the Tompkins knits slowly from bottom to top and produces a thick soft fabric that contains plenty of air. The cut of this hoodie is based on a classic double-V-gusset after hoodie and is characterised by the 4-needle flat seam construction.

  • Tompkins knit fabric
  • Incredibly thick and fluffy
  • Classic 50s sportswear influences
  • Regular fit
  • Made entirely in Japan

Brand

Loop & Weft is known for producing the finest knitted and cut-and-sewn cotton goods in Japan. It was founded in 2011 by Ryota Seguchi with a goal to produce honestly crafted pieces made from the very best materials.

The brand is based in Yamanashi Prefecture, a location in the shadow of Mount Fuji that is known for its natural beauty and for being an inspiring setting for creative people, not to mention having a historically significant garment manufacturing industry. The pursuit of perfection and attention to detail that the brand put into its products is second to none.

Bespoke, proprietary fabrics are developed each season, before carefully chosen shokunin (artisans) from small, local factories and workshops are enlisted to manufacture the final pieces. Loop & Weft aim to contribute to the strong traditions and history of their local area by creating life-long lasting pieces that age beautifully and that will fast become the prized possessions of their owners.

We are proud to have been the first European stockist of this amazing brand.
