There are few garments more unfairly neglected by serious discussions of clothing than the ordinary sweatshirt. This is remarkable, considering how often one actually wears a sweatshirt.

Ours is made from 9 oz. cotton French terry, with a loop-back interior and five-needle reverse cover stitching. We have even given the neck a sewn notch, an admittedly small detail over which we are disproportionately pleased.

The black is garment-dyed, with a little natural variation from one piece to the next. It will accompany you through work, leisure, and the many occasions on which neither can be clearly identified.

We consider a good sweatshirt an essential piece of civilization.
