Description

The Samurai SWS-SC01 Japanese Cotton Heavyweight Sweatshirt in Natural is crafted from an exclusive Japanese Slub Knit using a thick #10 yarn, serving as a heritage collector’s staple. It is made entirely in Japan, utilizing traditional fibers and vintage techniques. This cleanly configured sweatshirt is made from 100% Organic Japanese Cotton, re-established by the Samurai Cotton Project in Hyogo Prefecture, using an ancient, native cotton strain and hand-cultivation techniques. This short raw fiber is spun into yarn in Sasayama, loomed in Wakayama, and finished in Kyoto with a natural, undyed kinari state, resulting in a basic product with authentically antique texture, weight, and color. Featuring a classic fit, this heavyweight sweatshirt is suitable for a wide range of body types and style profiles. This basic features signature details elevated from vintage originals, including a triple-stitched rib-bound crewneck, a V-panel collar gusset on the front and back, ribbed hem and cuffs, and is constructed with vintage Union special flat-locked seams throughout. Representing one of the most collectible Japanese producers that continues to innovate through intensive old-world techniques, this Samurai celebrates exclusive material development, precise craftsmanship, and considered design through every element to create a unity of garment and wearer.
