This week, we’re taking a closer look at the upcoming Azuma Knit Afterhood collaboration with The Iron Snail, including the history behind the design, the new 385 GSM Azuma-knit fabric, the relaxed fit, and why it feels so soft, lofty, and substantial.

We also preview more of the Fall/Winter 2026 collection, including the Yak Blend Flannel Field Shirt, Khaki Green Fleeced FoxFibre®, Cotton Cashmere Honeycomb Henleys, and Grandrelle FoxFibre® Heavyweight Waffle Henley, along with a first look at a new Charcoal Grey ELS Recycled Cotton Slub T-shirt.

Along the way, we talk vintage sweatshirt references, Japanese archive books, the staying power of classic design, future ideas like quarter-zips, track jackets, baseball tees and more, plus which upcoming Fall/Winter pieces are getting the most customer interest.
