The 10 oz. SWEATPANTS are the archetypal cotton sweatpants, directly inspired by those first introduced to the market in the 1920s. The Loopwheel knitted cotton is a brushed loopback French Terry, making it warmer and softer than its unbrushed counterpart. Loopwheel machines on which this tubular constructed fabric is made, are renowned for their slow knitting pace, producing only a single meter of fabric per hour. However, this low thread tension technique is what sets them apart from contemporary manufacturing methods and creates an exceptional and distinctive fabric. The resulting material is reminiscent of hand-woven textiles and possesses a unique stretchy quality and washed look of old American sweatpants that can only be reproduced on a loopwheel knitting machine. This loopwheel pant is knitted in Wakayama, Japan, using extremely rare machines, known in Japan as Tsuriami-ki and even rarer skill and technique, exclusively for The Real McCoy’s.

Unlike mass-produced sweatpants, The Real McCoy’s use different yarns across the layers of the sweat to achieve the optimal finish, density and comfort and like the best vintage sweatshirts, the gusset details featured here have been sewn in, whilst this is a time-consuming process, this adds a layer of reinforcement and prevents the neck from stretching as well as acting similarly to a sweatband.

吊り編み機を使用してゆっくりと編まれたスウェット生地は、現代的な機械を通したものと違い、糸にかかるストレスが少ない。
時間がかかる分、非効率的で生産性は低いが、独特の弾力性や洗い込んだ時の表情といった古いアメリカの雰囲気は吊り編み機でしか再現できない。
