A navy sweatshirt is a sensible thing to own. We realize this is not an especially provocative statement, but there is no point manufacturing controversy where none is required.

We make ours from 9 oz. loop-back cotton French terry and give it five-needle reverse cover stitching, a sewn neck notch, and a garment dye that lends the color its particular character.

It is soft where it ought to be soft, sturdy where it ought to be sturdy, and quite content to be worn three days in a row, should circumstances demand.

We cannot endorse every decision you make while wearing it. The sweatshirt, however, is above reproach.
