In those days when it's not quite cold enough for your winter coat but a bit brisk for just a tee, we dub it "Sweater Weather." When selecting the perfect transitional sweater, consider this chunky shawl collar indigo cardigan—a blend of warmth and style.

This exquisite piece is crafted from a premium 12oz indigo loopwheel fabric, ensuring a lifetime of durability with a flattering fit, a soft touch, and exceptional warmth. It feels like a comforting embrace, offering superior softness on the inside, resilience on the outside, and a slightly tighter weave for added windproof functionality. The indigo rope-dyed thread guarantees a unique aging process, setting this cardigan apart in the market.

The Strike Gold ("Tsuri-Ami") cardigan is meticulously woven in the Kanekichi Wakayama workshop in Japan, one of only two workshops globally that has preserved the operation of tubular textile production machines for over a century, enabling seamless garment creation. The knitting process relies solely on gravity, resulting in a fabric with minimal built-in stress or tension.

With a loopwheel machine rotating at a leisurely 24 revolutions per minute, producing a mere 8-10 garments worth of fabric per day—significantly less than modern machines—the outcome is a heavyweight, soft, and robust fabric, making it the epitome of the finest sweatshirt material available today.

The Strike Gold is undoubtedly one of the benchmark brands when we speak of Japanese denim. Established in Kojima, in Okayama Prefecture, the Hamamoto family has been focusing all its efforts for more than 10 years on producing denim, sweatshirts, shirts and belts of the very highest quality one can find today. Their denim fabrics, unique in the world for their texture, composition, incredible irregularity, stiffness, roughness and character, delight denim devotees around the planet.
