Keep things fresh with Tanuki‘s “Zuien Kuon” Crewneck Loopwheeled Sweatshirt. If you haven’t dipped your toes into Japanese-crafted loopwheeled knits, this crewneck might be a good entry point. Especially if you want something that has a bit of pizzazz to go with the higher price point of loopwheeled goods.

We can always rely on Tanuki to add something spicy to their garments, and this attractive grey crewneck is detailed with vibrant blue thread on the side seam stitching, sumi-dyed contrasting black ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and hem, and Tanuki logo embroidered on the shoulder. Grey and black go with everything, and how many crewnecks do you know of with black contrasting ribbing? I bet that sumi dye will fade to gray over time, giving you a more interesting look down the road after wearing the absolute crap out of it. Pair it with your already ‘faded to absolute crap’ Tanuki denim for maximum patina props.
