Warehouse - Lot 404 - Freedom Sleeve Sweatshirt - Heather Grey
Warehouse & Co. has very quickly become one of our top-selling import brands for a reason. Their attention to detail and dedication to traditional construction is beyond the pale of comparison. We find ourselves diving into things like why they chose the style of tag or how one seam is built compared to another. That is the joy of this brand for us. Seeing conscious decision-making in the flesh from one of the best brands to do it in Japan since 1995.
We've been on a kick of comfy lately, and this piece is no exception. It is potentially the softest piece we've ever felt from Warehouse. The fleece ensures that. We've also found that a freedom or raglan sleeve is the best in terms of fit. It lays really wonderfully on the shoulder. This has a boxier 1940's style fit with longer ribbing in the hem and sleeves. The body of this piece is made on their iconic hanging knitting machines and the ribbing is produced on circular knitting machines.
- 100% Cotton Fleece
- 1940’s shape
- Freedom sleeve (raglan)
- V-Neck insert on both front & back
- Longer cuffs and waistband
- Custom woven black/red label
- Made in Japan
| Size | Chest | Length | Sleeve |
| 38 | 21.25" | 23.5" | 23" |
| 40 | 22" | 23.5" | 23.5" |
| 42 | 23.25" | 24" | 24" |
| 44 | 24" | 25.5" | 24.5" |
A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 40 in the pictures (he could wear a 38 if he was going for a more vintage look). These have a boxier cut, so we had no issue wearing our true size. With a raglan sleeve you don't really have to worry about the fit there, so just pay attention to those other 3 measurements. When in doubt, always size up one with Warehouse. Tommy is 5'10," 162lbs with a 40" chest.
Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
