Jelado Loopwheel T-shirt Off White
A wardrobe essential here from Jelado: The Loopwheel T-shirt. Cut from loopwheeled cotton in Japan, this heavyweight tee will become a wardrobe staple with a thick, soft hand, regular fit and no side seams.
Loopwheel machines manufacture cotton with a very low thread tension that allows for the production of a premium and unique fabric with the end result being an incredibly comfortable tee. There are only around 400 loopwheel machines remaining in Wakayama, Japan with half of these in use at any given time. These were the standard from the 1920’s – 1960’s until manufacturing methods gave way for efficiency and cost.
* Please note these will shrink about 1″ in all directions on the first wash but will stretch back. Wash cold & hang dry.
