Description

500GSM. That's the number that matters. The Alternative Heavyweight Sweatshirt is built from ultra-heavyweight cotton nearly twice the weight of a standard high-street sweatshirt the kind of fabric you feel the moment you pick it up, with a structured drape that holds its shape and a warmth that makes it a genuine cold-weather layer, not just loungewear.

The fit is relaxed and modern with a structured silhouette — substantial without being shapeless. Wear it on its own as the statement piece of an outfit, or layer it under a jacket when winter gets serious. The minimal design means it works with everything: jeans, cargos, joggers.

Fit: Relaxed modern fit with a structured silhouette. Our unisex pieces can run slightly small  check the size chart before ordering, and size up if you're between sizes or want a roomier fit.
