From the brand: The 215 Loopwheeled Tee is a fantastic midweight basic, clocking in at a very comfortable 7.2oz / 238gsm (the fabric weight by yard, not the weight of the tee itself), it's robust but not heavy, with a natural drape and classic fit. It's a fantastically elevated basic tee, produced on vintage loopwheeler machines in the German mountains and made from high quality 100% cotton yarns.
The vintage loopwheelers they knit their fabric up on are notably slow - humming along at just 1 meter per hour and producing about one half roll of fabric in a day. By comparison, a modern knitting machine can blast out about five full rolls in the same amount of time, operating at roughly 10 times the speed of a loopwheeler.
The fabrics created are anything but equal. The "slow and steady" nature of loopwheel machines comes from the gravity-fed nature of the knit - with minimal tension applied, the finished product is light, airy, and remarkably soft from the moment its knit.
Featuring a relaxed fit throughout the body and vintage 1/4 length sleeves triangle inserts underneath for additional ease of movement. The torso is cut slightly longer to account for shrinkage, and looks great worn tucked or untucked (even after a few washes).
True to size. Will shrink ~1" in length after washing, but will stretch back out with wear. Wash cold on delicate cycle, dry flat.
