Buzz Rickson’s Loopwheeled Sweatshirts

I can’t decide what I like more about the History Preservation Associates website. Is it the great Japanese-made clothes sold direct from Japan at rock bottom prices? Or, is that every product description is packed with fun facts for clothing nerds (such as myself) to totally geek out over. Case in point: these Loopwheeled Sweatshirts from Buzz Rickson’s are only $105 – about half of what they cost at an American stockist. And here’s one of the tastier bits from the product write-up:

“With shrewd foresight of the oncoming vintage clothing market, much of the old, U.S.-made 1920’s machinery and looms were bought up by the Japanese in the 1970’s when they were otherwise deemed obsolete. These old looms, although much slower than modern machinery, are able to produce much higher-quality fabric – fabric that perfectly matches the quality of those garments made from the good old days. For those who can appreciate such quality, these sweatshirts are sure to please.”

Don’t you just love it? Four colors are available.
