Studio D’Artisan’s Bengara Reverse Weave Sweatshirt blends two pillars of Japanese craft: rare loopwheel knitting and one of Japan’s oldest natural dyes. The garment starts with SDA’s “Ishikawadai” loopwheel fabric - knit on century-old machines that produce a dense, slow-knit cotton with incredible structure and natural stretch. From there, each piece is garment-dyed by hand using Bengara, an earthy red pigment made from iron-rich soil that has been used in Japan for centuries on textiles, pottery, lacquerware, and traditional architecture. The Bengara dyeing process is entirely manual: the pigment is kneaded into the garment rather than absorbed like a conventional dye, creating a deep rust-red tone with a matte, mineral-like finish. It’s one of the most durable dyes in the world, known for resisting fading far longer than plant-based indigos or sulfurs. The color will evolve, but slowly and beautifully, giving each sweatshirt a long life of natural character. SDA builds this piece in a classic reverse weave construction with side panels for mobility, elongated ribbed cuffs, and a clean, slim silhouette. It’s their take on the iconic athletic sweatshirt - elevated through historic dye craft and small-batch Japanese production. 100% cotton Ishikawadai loopwheel fabric Garment-dyed with Bengara One wash Slim fit silhouette Reverse weave construction Elongated ribbed cuffs Double-needle construction Made in Japan table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; } th, td { border: 1px solid black; padding: 8px; text-align: center; } th { background-color: #f2f2f2; } Tag Size Chest Shoulder Length Sleeve M 20.9 16.3 24.0 22.6 L 22.0 17.7 24.4 23.0 XL 22.9 18.1 25.2 23.6 XXL 23.3 18.1 26.4 24.4 A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance. Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a size XL in this piece. Like most of their garments, this fits on the smaller side. He could wear a L for a more traditional crew neck look, but for a roomier look that XL worked great. We would recommend sizing up once in this piece. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
