W Gazet Sweatshirt

DC-690 W Gazet Sweatshirt

100% Cotton

Size 42 (XL) is sold out.

Designed and produced based on vintage sweatshirts from the 1940s and 1950s.

The material is 100% cotton.

The surface is knitted using 30 count yarn and the back is knitted using 10 count yarn, making it a sweatshirt (fleece) fabric.

The ribbed fabric is needle-punched, which was quite rare even at the time.

The knit fabric is made of randomly pierced rib, which creates a loose tension.

This atmosphere gives it an even more vintage feel.

In addition, the ribbed fabric around the neck is cut on the bias and sewn around at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.

This cutting and sewing method is unique to the 1940s and 1950s.

It is cut in a spiral shape to eliminate waste and sewn with skilled techniques.

It also uses a double gusset sewing method, in which a V-shaped cut is made in the front and back and the ribbed fabric is inserted.

Although this was the most common sewing method at the time, it is already a style from 70 to 80 years ago.

The double gusset itself is an icon of classic style.

Sewing is done using four-needle, three-needle, or two-needle machines in the most appropriate way depending on the stitching area.

The armholes in particular are roughly cut almost straight up, just like those used at the time.

By doing this, the shoulder line will fall down to the upper arms when you wear it.

Although it's a small detail, it reproduces the cutting and sewing methods that allowed for a style unique to that time.

In this way, we have taken various approaches to evoke the vintage sweatshirts of the past.

The outer yarn is made in two colors, ash gray and oatmeal, using a time-consuming method called "pre-dyed yarn."

These two colors have been used since then for gym clothes and workwear in schools and the military.

In other words, it is a traditional American casual color.

You can wear it alone with jeans or a denim jacket, or you can wear it over a shirt as a sweater with the collar out, or cut off the sleeves and wear it as a thick T-shirt.

Or, like the people of that time, you can add hand-drawn illustrations and text, which will look great.

This is a classic item that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
