Full size guide →The men's navy sweatshirt, in French terry
This men's navy sweatshirt is judged first by its material: a 380 g/m² French terry, 100% cotton. French terry, or loopback fleece, differs from classic fleece by its reverse, where the yarn loops stay visible instead of being brushed into fluff. Here, the inside is semi-brushed, halfway between the two. A fully brushed fleece is softer at first wear, but its fluff packs down and the garment flattens; the semi-brushed keeps its thickness and warmth over time. At 380 g/m², it is a proper winter sweatshirt, worn on its own until the end of autumn.
- Material: 100% cotton, jersey
- Origin: made in Portugal
- Detail: French terry 380 g/m²
- Detail: semi-brushed fleece
- Detail: slub outside
Cut and sizing
Fitted, not shaped: the sweatshirt follows the body without squeezing it. From XS to 3XL. Take your usual size; the size guide helps you decide if you hesitate.
How to wear a men's navy sweatshirt
On its own, over a white T-shirt: navy stays sober. Under a work jacket, the thickness of the 380 g/m² replaces a middle layer. With flannel trousers, the contrast between fleece and wool avoids the tracksuit effect. Over a blue oxford shirt, collar out, the neckline lets the collar through without strain. It also comes in khaki.
Care
Machine washable at home: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener. Air dry in the shade; iron at medium heat, on the reverse.
Sportswear finishing
The rib edges, 100% cotton, are topstitched in flat lock: a flat seam that creates no ridge inside and resists pulling better than a simple overlock. At the back, a rounded piece of cloth, the half-moon yoke, structures the top of the back and stops the neckline sagging forward. Under the ribbed round neck, a triangular gusset completes the hold of the neckline. These details are barely visible, but they are what make the sweatshirt hold.
Patina and durability
In three years, this navy sweatshirt will have kept its neckline.
A sweatshirt is judged by its material. This one is a 380 g/m² French terry, 100% cotton, semi-brushed inside: a fully brushed fleece is softer at first, but it flattens. A half-moon yoke at the back stops the neckline sagging. Here is how it holds.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
The difference between a sweatshirt that lasts a year and one that lasts ten is a hundred grams of material and a built collar. Navy goes with everything, from jeans to chinos. It is the everyday sweatshirt, made to last.
A sport garment turned basic
The sweatshirt was born in 1920: Benjamin Russell Jr., a football player at the University of Alabama, wanted to replace itchy wool jerseys with cotton. Cotton won, and the sweatshirt has hardly changed shape since. It has remained a simple garment, and navy is its most sober version: it stays sharp where a coloured sweatshirt quickly looks sloppy. The outside is slubbed, with a slightly irregular grain rather than a smooth one. The sweatshirt is knitted in Portugal, then goes through a vintage wash that stabilises the knit and softens the hand.
