The Velva Sheen Loopwheeler Half-Zip in Heather Gray is for unconventional sweater lovers. You might say that a quarter/half-zip sweat is common, but let’s be real. In reality, these things are niche. Their nicheness only lends to their appeal, in our opinion, as the general love for the unique and special goes around these parts.
If you’re new to Velva-Sheen, they’ve been making some of the nicest tees and basics out there for a long time now. Just ask anyone who’s been rocking raw denim for more than a decade – Velva gear simply pairs well with all the other high-quality and well-made stuff that we feature.
Made from Japanese loopwheeled fabric, AKA tubular knit, loop-backed, soft-as-hell sweater material, these Half Zips are part of Velva Sheen’s Made in Japan collection (much of their collection is made in the USA), with loopwheeling machines being rare and secluded to Japan and Germany entirely.
The Half Zips feature a sturdy YKK zipper, doubled fabric on the collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, a vintage style (boxy) silhouette, and are available in a few truly classic colors.
Available for $190 from Brooklyn Tailors.
