HEALTHKNIT Vintage Loopwheel Sweatshirt Crew Neck Long Sleeve Black

Used loopwheel machine for knitting. A rare old-fashioned hanging knitting machine. By knitting slowly and slowly without putting stress on the threads, the result is a fabric that has a unique fluffy texture that feels as if it was knitted with air, and is still firm. A unique feature of loop knitting is that it doesn't lose its shape when washed, and it feels better against your skin each time you wash it.

 

The sewing machine used for the main sewing is an American-made vintage flat seamer from Union Special. Compared to regular sewing, the seam allowances are less loose and can be sewn together flat, resulting in a finish that is gentle on the skin.

The design where the stitching from the shoulder to the arm draws an S-shaped curve is called a "freedom sleeve" and was designed to allow the arm to move freely. Health Knit is said to have invented the freedom sleeve in the late 1950s and was the first company in the world to commercialize it.
