The wool TSURIAMI pile we first made two years ago would not have been possible without this 100% wool yarn from Toyoboshi. The quality of this yarn is genuinely outstanding. I cannot claim to have seen every yarn in the world, but new encounters with exceptional materials are always important. The raw fiber and its origin and the people who produce it matter, but the spinning and processing techniques that follow matter even more — because that is where the skill and passion of the craftspeople are embedded. At LOOPWHEELER, we believe the people involved at every stage are our greatest asset, and that their dedication is what makes everything possible.This new LW370 jacket, with a cursive loopwheeler embroidery on the left chest, was made with a pattern drawn specifically for the 100% wool TSURIAMI pile.I am quite taken with it. When it is cold, zip it all the way up. Open the zip and the collar forms a lapel, letting you show what you have on underneath when layering — and if you put a shell or something over the top, you can enjoy the layered look from there as well. Using a Vislon zipper rather than a metal one also gives it a softer expression, I think.Available in three colors — new colors Olive and Navy, plus the continuing color Black.Four sizes from S to XL, priced at 85,000 yen (tax excluded). There is also a small detail in the embroidery color that I hope you will come and see in person.Those of you who have purchased this in previous years will already know, but this 100% wool TSURIAMI pile can be washed at home. Please use a detergent suitable for wool, such as Acron or Emaal, set your washing machine to its gentlest cycle, increase the water level, and wash with care. For drying, simply hang it on a hanger overnight in a room or bathroom and it will be nearly dry by morning. I think it would make an excellent companion on longer work trips as well. And personally, I have a soft spot for this Olive — there is something slightly military about it. @Satoshi Suzuki
