Buy NowThe Strike Gold Loopwheeled Zip Hoodie is built for those who value true cost-per-wear, durability, and authentic craftsmanship. Designed to last a lifetime, this heavyweight hoodie delivers exceptional warmth, a naturally soft handfeel, and a flattering, functional fit – often described as feeling like a warm hug.
This hoodie is produced at the historic Kanekichi factory in Wakayama, Japan, one of only two workshops in the world still operating traditional Loopwheeled ('Tsuri-Ami') knitting machines. These century-old machines rely solely on gravity rather than mechanical tension, knitting fabric at an extremely slow pace of around 24 revolutions per minute. Each machine produces fabric for just 8–10 garments per day, resulting in a fabric with virtually no internal stress – exceptionally dense, durable, and naturally soft.
Compared to traditional loopwheeled hoodie fabrics, this version is knit slightly tighter, improving wind resistance while maintaining comfort. The interior is triple-brushed for added softness and insulation, while the exterior remains tough and resilient.
Finished with a full zip front, white cotton drawcords, and waist hand-warmer pockets, this hoodie blends classic athletic styling with everyday practicality. The seamless tubular body construction (no side seams) enhances comfort and longevity. The fit is intentionally slim, designed to retain heat efficiently while maintaining a clean, streamlined silhouette.
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.
