When it comes to BARNS OUTFITTERS, there’s no avoiding the story of the loopwheel knitting machine — a century-old relic still running today in Wakayama, Japan.
The fabrics born from this machine are slowly and gently knit, allowing air to weave into every thread. The result? A soft, supple texture with the perfect amount of stretch and an embrace-like comfort that defines BARNS OUTFITTERS’ signature feel. Among these, the brand’s long-running staple for spring and summer — the “Tsuriami-Tenjiku” loopwheel tee — stands as a true icon. For the second color release of the 2025 Spring/Summer season, a muted, sophisticated purple makes its debut, offering a grown-up elegance without going over the top.

「Our loopwheel knitting method」
 We utilize a traditional falling loopwheel knitting system where fabric is suspended in the air and knitted using its own weight as a counterbalance. This method can only knit one meter of fabric per hour, but produces a very fine and high quality knit. Due to low production capacity, there are only a few hundred of these machines in operation today. This method, while painstaking, is an integral part of creating unique fabric expressions in our signature BARNS knits.

"For a T-shirt you'll wear all year, only the best will do"

The neckline features a classic binder construction, often seen on vintage pieces — where the body fabric is sandwiched and stitched for added structure. This design offers excellent durability and shape retention, making it ideal for long-term wear. At the center, a subtle pinch forms a shallow yet balanced V-neckline — not too deep, not too high — creating just the right amount of relaxed openness around the neck.

By making the size regular, the characteristics of the hang-knit fabric can be felt to the maximum extent, achieving an eternal standard that is not affected by time.

Pockets are delicately adjusted according to size, and the pocket size is best balanced no matter which size you choose.

The loop-wheel knitting(TSURIAMI) machine is a machine that knits fabric in a tubular shape. As a result, the fabric is seamlessly finished with no side seams, known as a "round body" design. This tubular body makes it difficult to adjust the size, so careful adjustments were made to the angle of the sleeve attachment, sleeve width, and the line that follows the body from the shoulder to the upper arm. By fine-tuning the sleeve width, a universally flattering silhouette was achieved, creating a well-proportioned fit that looks great even when worn as a single layer. While adopting vintage-inspired design elements, the garment features a timeless silhouette, making it easy to wear both tucked in or out.
*Please note that the XXL size comes with side seams.

Uneven yarns made from rice cotton are used, which have more fluff than ordinary yarns to retain a dry, crisp texture. The softness and rough texture are created by knitting the fabric slowly so that the yarn contains air.

"TSURIAMI"

The Loopwheel Machine — a relic from the Taisho era, developed nearly a century ago in Japan. Suspended from beams, this unique knitting machine lets fabric fall and gather under its own weight as it is slowly and gently knit. Producing just 10 meters of fabric per day, the loopwheel method was deemed inefficient and gradually phased out in favor of faster sinker machines. Today, only a handful remain — fragile, difficult to maintain, and with spare parts nearly impossible to find. Their days are numbered. Yet, there is nothing quite like the fabric they produce. By knitting slowly and with minimal tension, the result is a soft, resilient texture that holds air, stretches naturally, and drapes beautifully. It's a feel only loopwheel knitting can offer — a rare quality that BARNS OUTFITTERS has continued to honor through its timeless staples.

*Due to the characteristics of the knitting machine, there may be a difference of +/- 1 to 3 cm.
*Sizes XXL and above have side seams.
