Heavyweight Boxy Sweat
Description
400GSM. No graphic. No embroidery. Just a clean oversized crew neck in 100% cotton that does everything through weight and cut alone. The Alternative Garment Supply Co. woven label at the bottom right hem is the only branding understated by design, substantial by construction.
At 400GSM this is denser than most brands' heavyweight range — the fabric has a smooth face, a structured drape, and enough body to hold its oversized silhouette without collapsing. Dropped shoulders widen the frame, the longer body drops below the hip, and the ribbed crew neck, cuffs and hem keep the structure clean. The kind of sweatshirt that looks intentional rather than just big.
Fit: Oversized relaxed fit with dropped shoulders and longer body length. Choose your regular size for the intended oversized silhouette, or size down for a less oversized look. Unisex, like everything we make.
