Jackman is the brand of Tanabe Meriyasu, a Japanese manufacturing company based in Fukui, drawing inspiration from the legacy of its founder, Mitsugu Tanabe.

The GG Sweat is THE iconic model from Jackman. The name "GG" refers to the unique grain of the fleece, achieved by using different thicknesses of yarn, characterized by an exterior roughness contrasting with the softness inside. The 100% cotton fabric is produced on the same vintage machines used when the factory opened. The weaving process is slow but gives the pieces an irregular appearance and superior durability.

The result is a heavy and dense sweatshirt, with a unique texture, that retains its shape and fit even after many wears and washes. It is a high-quality piece that will delight fans of good basics offering comfort and longevity. The Full-Zip Parka version features a Universal double slider zipper, a single-piece constructed hood for better fit even when folded down, with a long drawstring, and 2 lined and reinforced side pockets.

Beneath this minimalist appearance lie details that reveal very careful manufacturing: the seams are doubled to ensure strength, the ribbed edges and cuffs are soft and comfortable while remaining rigid enough to hold their shape, and the assembly has been designed to ensure ease of movement despite the weight of the fabric, notably with the shoulder seam placed at the back. The sweatshirt has also been pre-washed once to soften the fleece and set the size.
