The Heavy Loopwheel Sweatshirt by Whitesville follows the tradition of American sweatshirts from the 1940s and 1950s. True to the brand’s approach, it offers an accurate reproduction of these sportswear pieces, with a strong focus on craftsmanship and respect for period-correct techniques.
The fabric is knitted using the loopwheel technique on vintage circular Tsuri-ami machines running at a slow pace, producing a tension-free knit. This process results in a jersey that is both dense and soft, offering exceptional comfort and long-lasting durability. The fabric has a plush yet resilient feel, with a lightly brushed interior that provides warmth and softness.
The tubular construction, without side seams, enhances comfort and freedom of movement while improving the garment’s durability. Iconic vintage sportswear details are present: a crew neck with V-insert, sturdy ribbing, and a well-balanced straight fit. The overall design reflects a simple and functional aesthetic, faithful to classic training sweatshirts of the era.
Made in Japan by Whitesville, this model showcases the expertise of Toyo Enterprise in vintage basics reproduction. Combining American heritage with Japanese textile precision, it stands as a timeless casual essential designed to age and evolve with wear.
This model may experience slight shrinkage after the first wash, mainly in length and very slightly in width. This effect remains limited and can be controlled by washing the garment cold and avoiding the dryer.
For a true-to-fit and tailored look, you can take your usual size. If you want to anticipate a slight shrinkage after washing or prefer a looser fit from the start, you can opt for one size up.
Please note that the measurements are indicative and may vary from one model/size to another.
