Mid-Century Machine Fleece Classic Fit Sweatshirt - Charcoal

The Mid-Century Machine Fleece Classic Fit Sweatshirt is produced on vintage mid-century machines at Merz b. Schwanen’s workshop in Germany. The machines work at a slower pace than contemporary manufacturing, which affects the density and hand-feel of the finished cloth — it has a weight and softness that you notice when you first put it on.

The V-notch at the neckline is not decorative. It is a construction detail from American athletic sweatshirts of the 1940s and 1950s, included here because it is part of what a sweatshirt of this type looks like. Classic fit means the garment is cut with room through the chest, the arm and the hem — without falling into the territory of oversized.

Charcoal reads almost as black in low light and reveals its true character — a warm dark grey — in good light. It works with most things because it makes no demands.
