Hey G,
Studio d'Artisan also has sweats which they call "Wakayama special edition" (link)… I know Wakayama is just a place where a lot of loopwheel fleece is made so maybe the name is generic but curious do you know are they different fabrics?SDA's "Wakayama" sweats & hoodies are loop-wheeled as SDA always puts a few of these items in their range each year. Usually, Wakayama is used as a synonym for loop-wheeled in Japan. Getting loop-wheeled knits in Japan outside of Wakayama is very unlikely as hardly anybody else in Japan owns these machines anymore - TFH being one of the known exception.
G replied to my earlier question with a 50/50 possibility here…
Regarding the difference in knits: based on the old hoodies I have seen from IH - they are circular weft knits manufactured on circular knitting machine in the form of a tube. These tubes can be cut open and then turned into tees or hoodies. For tees without side seems these tubes have specific diameters for specific sizes.
From the point of forming the loops in circular knits and the mechanical principles loop-wheeled knits (using ancient machinery by modern standards) and modern day weft/circular knits are technologically the same and can have the same appearance. It is unlikely that you or I will be able to tell the difference... -
Similar to the preference of "ancient" technology in "sophisticated" denim production (narrow shuttle looms) there seems to be a preference in certain circles or cultures for out-dated loop wheel knitting machines. Loop-wheeled tees and sweats are often regarded as superior. The involved machines are certainly scarce and less efficient compared to modern day machines…
