Fit description: Vintage fit – runs small
The Loopwheel Hooded Sweat Parka from Buzz Rickson’s is inspired by training sweatshirts worn by the U.S. military. Built with the same attention to detail that defines the brand, it combines authentic sportswear construction with durable materials.
The fabric is knitted on vintage loopwheel machines, a slow and traditional method that produces a soft yet dense fleece with natural stretch and excellent durability. Loopwheel knitting also creates a tubular body with no side seams, improving comfort while maintaining the character of classic mid-century athletic wear.
Construction details include two-needle stitching on the sleeves and four-needle construction attaching the front pockets for added strength. The hood features a layered front with reinforced bar tacks, reflecting the robust construction typical of military training garments.
The result is a heavyweight sweatshirt with real vintage character that will soften and develop personality with wear.
Jonas is 183 cm / 75 kg and wears size Large.
