Introducing FOB Factory's vintage-inspired denim pullover, a best-selling piece that combines timeless menswear with a modern twist. This unique design features a boxy silhouette for a contemporary touch while preserving the vintage charm of classic attire.
Crafted from 14oz original denim woven on the iconic Toyoda G3 shuttle loom using Supima cotton, this pullover offers exceptional softness, durability, and a lustrous sheen for comfort and longevity.
The Toyoda G3 loom, introduced over 50 years ago, remains a rare machine that creates distinctive, rough-textured denim with consistent yarn and ruggedness. Although challenging to maintain due to unavailable replacement parts and low productivity (weaving only 5 meters of fabric per hour), select Japanese brands continue its legacy to produce original denim with unmatched quality and texture.
The pullover boasts selvedge detailing on the pocket and hem, along with premium features like antique brass buttons that enhance its overall vintage aesthetic. At Redcast Heritage's request, a custom patch, crafted from premium heavyweight cowhide leather, is meticulously stitched onto the pullover post one-wash, ensuring an impeccable appearance.
This versatile and stylish pullover suits various casual occasions, easily adaptable for both dressed-up and laid-back looks
It features a relaxed fit and despite being a Japanese piece, we find the sizing of this pullover to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American jackets, you'll find a suitable fit with this pullover in size 40 (M). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
