The Strike Gold Loopwheeled Sweatshirt Indigo

If you're the type of guy who values durability and style that stands the test of time, this Strike Gold sweatshirt is your perfect match. Made to last a lifetime, it combines a soft feel, exceptional warmth, and a fit that’s both comfortable and refined. It’s like wearing a "warm hug."

This Strike Gold  Loopwheeled ("Tsuri-Ami") sweatshirt is crafted at the Kanekichi Wakayama workshop in Japan, one of only two places in the world still operating the traditional loopwheel machines, used for over a century. The unique knitting process relies solely on gravity to create a fabric free of stress and tension. Each machine produces fabric at a slow 24 revolutions per minute, making only 8-10 garments’ worth of fabric daily—whereas modern machines are over 10 times faster. The result is a heavyweight fabric that’s soft yet incredibly strong, regarded as the finest sweatshirt material available today.

This sweatshirt features a classic round neck, no side seams, and a dense weave that enhances wind resistance, keeping you comfortable in a variety of conditions. The deep indigo hue is achieved through a traditional dye bath technique. Much like your favorite jeans, this sweatshirt will develop character and fade gracefully over time.

The cut highlights broad shoulders with a slightly boxy fit that’s snug across the chest and relaxed at the waist, hitting slightly shorter in length for a modern, structured look.

Fit Notes: Strike Gold sweatshirts run small—one or even two sizes smaller than your regular American size. As always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
