Just when you thought a sweat from Barns Outfitters couldn’t get any better… this happens. You know when you see something and it just looks right and it makes you question why it didn’t exist up until this point? That’s exactly what happened when I first laid my peepers on this piece.

Made in Japan and cut from a 100% loopwheeled-cotton which has a soft yet stiff and durable texture achieved by knitting on a machine that existed in the Taisho era. A flatseamer is used on the high collar and binder neck ensuring you won’t feel the unevenness of the seams for absolute comfort when worn, and then comes that killer conch fastening detail supplied by vintage specialists Button Works that just really sets the whole thing off. Coming in a light gray and darker “black” I basically want both and to disown all my other sweats.

Available now from Hinoya priced at ~$159
