Description
Arguably one of the best quality sweaters that exists today.
Knitted in Japan on vintage 1950s looms.
MocT have 130 years of technology and experience in producing loopwheel garments.
The regular fit zip up parka is designed with a slightly looser silhouette so that you can fully feel the luxury of the fabric. It features ribbed cuffs and waistband, and a brand tab to the hem.
The "loop-wheel” knitting machine that is used was adopted in Japan in the early 1900’s for manufacturing western style clothing. Most of the Japanese vintage items that we find today were made by this machine. When knitting fabric using loop-wheeling machines, no extra force is applied to the yarn so it retains the softness and unique texture that you have after you wash it.
Because this machine can only knit about 1 meter of fabric an hour, most factories currently use the latest high-speed knitting machines called "sinker knitting machines" for mass production. MocT sweats however, continue to only use this high grade knitting technique at their factory in Wakayama prefecture, the only factory that is still in operation. In addition, because it uses un-dyed threads, it can be worn and washed repeatedly to give it a softer texture.
The secret of the soft texture, which cannot be reproduced by any type of dyeing method, is due to the cotton being dyed at raw material stage so the soft texture of cotton is maximised.
Made by a factory that was founded in 1887 and have taken on the challenge of developing various premium threads.
Style: Regular fit

All sizing information is for guide purposes only.
Where possible we provide individual product size guides. If these aren't
available we provide a generic brand size guide. Individual garments may
differ from these measurements and we cannot guarantee the item you receive
will match these measurements exactly.
Many brands also have a level of tolerance in size differences
between the same item - this is usually 0.5 inches.
If no size guide is shown below, it means there is not one available at
present for this item and it will be added if/when it becomes available.
