Loop & Weft

About Loop & Weft

Loop & Weft is a Japanese label founded in 2011 by Ryota Seguchi, who spent almost a decade working in the local denim industry under one of Japan's leading denim brands. His idea was a range of menswear tops that would sit well with a great pair of jeans. The label is based in Yamanashi, where a long tradition of cut and sewn cotton goods manufacturing continues to this day. The focus is Japanese-made knitwear, mainly cut and sewn pieces such as T-shirts, thermal shirts and sweatshirts. Loop & Weft works with shokunin (artisans) from small factories and workshops across Japan, and develops and produces all its original fabric with them, drawing on the rare production know-how that survives in the country.
