Lot 484 - Heavyweight Hooded Sweatshirt Plain - Green

When you pick up this sweatshirt, you'll instantly notice its weight. They specifically developed this sweatshirt through repetitive trial and error to reproduce the RW style of the 1960s. They've designed a sweatshirt that weaves the fabric horizontally to reduce shrinkage. They've swapped the bias for the side panels though, for what we think is a gorgeous look. The crazy part about these sweats is they're stiff but flex, and heavy but soft. They have put so much work into the development of the fabric to ensure it's not stiff like most heavyweight pieces are. They also had to be more meticulous with the dye technique because of this. Essentially, everything they did to develop this fabric took longer and more iterations than a typical sweatshirt. You'll notice the heavily exposed stitch on the tag fabric. This is commonly referred to as a "Tataki tag." We are very, very impressed by this loop-knit fabric. These are the hardiest, most complicated sweatshirts we've ever seen come from the Warehouse factory.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a large in this piece. We thought it was going to be huge from previous experience, but it actually really suited the oversized look he was going for. We recommend sizing up once in this garment if you don't want it tight and to account for shrinkage. This is our typical recommendation with Warehouse. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest. He's our standard fit model and wears a medium in these as well.
