Franklin & Poe Dropped a Fresh Batch Of Iron Heart’s Ultra Heavy Loopwheel Sweatshirts

Iron Heart is making some of the nicest Japanese-milled heavyweight sweats imaginable — they don’t call them Ultra Heavyweight for nothin’. And while heavyweight doesn’t always necessarily mean good, this is Iron Heart we’re dealing with. They make things that are heavy and good. Over and over again.

These beastly sweats are made from heavyweight loopwheeled cotton, weighing in at 14 oz. per square yard. That’s as heavy as the denim used on an average pair of raw selvedge jeans, folks. This might be the only layer you need when it’s cold out – whether you’re blasting it down the freeway on your Harley or simply traversing your local farmers market. If you don’t believe me, try and try one on, they need to be felt to be believed.

The Ultra Heavyweight Cotton Crew is available in two standard IH colorways and comes in a more regular fit, with more length in the body than most Japanese-made loopwheel sweats. Each piece comes fitted with meticulously considered details like vintage Union Special four-needle stitched seams, fitted sleeves for maximum wind protection if you’re out on your moto, ribbed cuffs and collar, and V-Neck insert for articulation.

Available at Franklin & Poe for $275.
