Based on the LW362 pattern that we first created in baby cashmere for the June order event, we adjusted the pattern for LW Light 30/9 TSURIAMI loopback and created the first sample. The result is a sweatshirt with a completely new look—something we haven’t had before. It’s pretty sharp. The ribbing is used only at the collar, while the cuffs and hem are finished by folding back the LW Light loopback fabric itself.

From here, we’ll run wash tests, make further pattern adjustments, decide on the colors, and then move into full production. Our aim is to have it in stores by January next year. To be honest, it feels really good… I’m holding back my eagerness to wear it right away as we get ready for production. I hope you’ll look forward to it.
