Description

Since its creation, BEAMS PLUS has drawn inspiration from the great classics of American clothing, particularly sportswear, military garments and collegiate styles from the 1940s to the 1960s. The Sweat Pullover Hoodie Raised Back follows this approach by embracing the codes of the traditional hooded sweatshirt, a garment originally designed for training and outdoor activities that gradually became an essential part of casual wardrobes. Its understated silhouette, kangaroo pocket and ribbed finishes reflect this functional heritage.

What makes this model particularly interesting is its heavyweight cotton fleece, knitted in Japan on a rare, old-fashioned Azuma knitting machine. Developed during the transition from traditional loopwheel machines to faster industrial knitting equipment in the 1970s, these machines operate at a relatively slow pace, producing a soft, substantial fabric with a naturally full texture. The inside is brushed to raise the fibers, creating a soft, slightly fuzzy surface that provides warmth and comfort during the colder months. The seamless tubular body construction also contributes to a smooth and comfortable feel against the skin.

Its Grey colorway enhances the model's versatility and recalls the iconic grey sweatshirts of American sportswear. Easy to pair with raw denim, chinos or military trousers, it can also be worn under a denim jacket, a casual blouson or a coat when temperatures drop. A simple and functional garment whose appeal lies in the comfort of its fabric, its thoughtful construction and its balanced proportions.

Cut & Fit

The Sweat Pullover Hoodie Raised Back features a classic, relaxed fit, offering comfortable room through the chest and shoulders. The ribbed cuffs and hem help maintain its shape while complementing the natural drape of the cotton fleece.
