Following its fleece-lined BE@RBRICKs that released last year, Japanese cotton mill Loopwheeler has returned, this time teaming up with Levi’s Made & Crafted to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Presented is a concise capsule packed with denim and soft goods that bring out the best in both labels.
Comprised of a sweatshirt, zip-up hoodie, T-shirt, denim jacket and a pair of jeans, the assemblage is constructed with thick French terry spun through a unique process that can only be done by one machine in the world, in Japan. All of the garments have been treated with a deep indigo dye, ensuring each piece ages well over time.
One highlight in the line up is the 502 Trucker Jacket, detailed with yellow top-stitching and silver-toned hardware. The jacket has been made with four layers of jersey fabric, providing a delicate texture to the rugged silhouette. Another standout piece is the CORE T-shirt. Both "Levi’s" and "Loopwheeler" branding is boldly printed in white at the front, complete Levi’s’ sun-motif at the center, followed by Japanese Katakana below. Other garments like a pair of jeans, hoodie and crewneck sweater round up the capsule.
The Loopwheeler x Levi’s Made & Crafted Capsule is currently available for pre-order at levi.jp, ranging from $245 – $611 USD.
