THE RITE STUFF Heavyweight 9oz Loopwheel Tee Ecru

About this product

The Rite Stuff Heavyweight Loopwheel Tees are crafted from a substantial 9oz loopwheel fabric, delivering unmatched comfort and durability. Made in Japan at the historic Kanekichi workshop in Wakayama – one of only two workshops in the world still operating authentic loopwheel knitting machines after more than a century – these tees are the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship.

The unique loopwheel process relies on gravity as the only tension, producing fabric with no built-in stress, resulting in an exceptionally soft, long-lasting garment. With machines running at just 24 revolutions per minute, only 8–10 tees’ worth of fabric are created each day, making every piece a true rarity.

The exclusive grey edition begins with unbleached cotton and is custom garment-dyed in a unique shade developed only for The Rite Stuff – you won’t find it anywhere else.

Each tee is meticulously sewn in Japan using all-cotton thread, finished with Japanese woven tags, and complemented by USA-made hang tags and stickers. Produced in collaboration with John Lofgren & Co., these heavyweight tees represent the highest standard of quality in heritage apparel.

Fit Notes: Despite being a Japanese brand, we find the sizing of The Rite Stuff tees to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American tees, you'll find a suitable fit with this piece in size M. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
