We developed our most popular sweatshirt from scratch with JERZEES.
This modern-day reproduction of the Russell Athletic hoodie was created in Alexander City, Alabama, USA in 1902.
One of its unique features is that the hood cord is asymmetrical, with one on the outside and one on the inside, and it is designed to retain its shape even after repeated wear.
Historically, cords were made for athletic use, and are thick like shoelaces, giving off a strong presence, so we made the body a flat cord to maintain a modern balance while retaining a classic look with the neck details.
Another thing I'm concerned about with hoodies is the volume of the hood. Personally, I don't like the feeling of it lying flat when I wear it, so I wanted more volume, so I paid particular attention to that aspect.
The fabric is made with open-end yarn, which is widely used in the U.S. Because the yarn contains air, it has a voluminous texture and a rough, crisp feel, resulting in an exquisite finish with a wonderful texture, color, and feel.
It has a heavy weight of 13.2 ounces and is durable enough to hold its shape, but with repeated wearing and washing , the fabric will conform to your body and develop a comfortable fit.
Its quality improves with each wash, and it's more absorbent than regular sweatshirts. It's 100% cotton, but it dries quickly. Even in the coming season when it's difficult to dry clothes, it dries quickly when hung indoors, so you can wear it as much as you like.
I personally like to wear it throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons, so I asked for the inside to be fleece-lined. It has the high absorbency required for fleece, which can absorb large amounts of sweat, so it's also important to note that it is based on the historical background of the material.
Size S is based on a 155cm female figure, and is balanced to be easily worn by petite men in the 160cm range.
Size M fits my height of 168cm and has the perfect balance when worn alone.
Size L has a width and sleeve length that can be worn comfortably by people over 175cm tall.
We had the cord (string), which has historically been used for athletic use, produced in an original color and THIRD PLACE specifications. If you purchase a sweatshirt, we will give it to you with a THIRD PLACE cord tied on it.
