Loopwheeler and Graphpaper Turn Signature Loopwheel Fabric into SS26 Roomy Sweatwear

Graphpaper quietly dropped its Spring/Summer 2026 Loopwheeler collaboration, listing the collection under the title “LOOPWHEELER for Graphpaper Sweat Parka” with SKUs GU253-70702B / GU261-70702B and material marked as Cotton 100%. The product page names a new colorway, “heathered H.GRAY,” and shows a model listed as “Model height 182cm / Wearing size 2.” Graphpaper’s shipping terms are live on the product pages and include free domestic shipping over ¥11,000: 税込11,000円以上ご購入の場合 送料無料。

The product copy on Graphpaper is unusually blunt and useful: “A relaxed-fit hoodie created in collaboration with LOOPWHEELER. Designed with raglan sleeves and a roomy silhouette for comfort and ease of movement.” That line sits beside the product title “Sweat Parka,” which creates a naming ambiguity on the page. Graphpaper also publishes sizing tables verbatim that read: | | S | M | L |; | 着丈前 | 76.25 | 60.8 | 67.4 |; | 肩幅 | 76.25 | 60.8 | 67.4 |; | 袖丈 | 76.25 | 60.8 | 67.4 |. The same numeric rows repeat across multiple tables on the page. The site lists no retail prices and does not map GU253-70702B / GU261-70702B explicitly to a single named item, so exact SKU-to-product mapping and price remain unlisted.

Context matters here because LOOPWHEELER’s fabric is the point of the collaboration. Loopwheel knit construction comes from vintage loopwheel machines, and Highsnobiety described that lineage with lines such as “Now, the Sashiko Gals have turned their masterful hands to LOOPWHEELER, the Japanese brand spinning ineffably soft sweats using vintage loopwheel machines.” Highsnobiety also notes that “LOOPWHEELER may only be 27 or so years old but its meticulous techniques are downright ancient, using machines older than some of the folks who operate them.” The original report on the Graphpaper collab stresses tactile quality but truncates the phrase to “dense, fluff” and that fragment remains unresolved on the product pages.

Separately, Highsnobiety covered a Sashiko Gals edition that reworks LOOPWHEELER’s LW360 fleece as a canvas for colorful sashiko embroidery. Highsnobiety details the LW360 as a “fleecey LW360 sweat” with side gussets, wider ribbing and a gently relaxed fit, and lists stitch tones as lemon, sky blue, crimson, and earth. The piece includes Arata Fujiwara of KUON saying, “Traditionally, sashiko is usually stitched with unbleached or off-white thread, or sometimes navy. But we tend to stitch in a much more colorful, pop-inspired way.” Highsnobiety describes those pieces as a “new tradition” and notes scar-like stitches, threads left hanging for movement, and instances where the stitching spells “LOOPWHEELER” in Katakana.

This collab is small and specific: roomy, raglan-shouldered Graphpaper shapes made from LOOPWHEELER’s loopwheel fabric, offered in heathered H.GRAY and showing up under SKUs GU253-70702B / GU261-70702B. Pricing, exact SKU mapping, corrected measurement charts, and whether any pieces include sashiko remain to be confirmed by Graphpaper or LOOPWHEELER, but as presented the SS26 run translates Japan’s loopwheel craft into low-key, wearable staples that favor build and tactile detail over logo theatrics.
