Loop Collection 101 Syllabus

Course Overview: Discover a line of sweaters — for little boys and girls — meant to stand the test of time. Analyze the benefits of vintage styling. Make frequent trips to the playground to ensure durability. Explore the long-term effects of the knits on a familial unit (i.e., hand-me-downs).

Objective: Produce each piece in the United States with recycled cotton. Avoid harsh dyes. Eliminate cases of scratchy woolitis.

Requirements: Cozy, crosshatched pullovers with solid cuffs and collars. Herringbone sweater vests to rival Grandpa (or Chandler). Striped cardigans finished with sustainable wood buttons and knit pants fit for jumping into leaf piles.

Extra Credit: Designed and made in New York City.
