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 emblematic model of Jackman. The name "GG" refers to the unique grain of the fleece, achieved by using different thread thicknesses, which is characterized by an exterior roughness that contrasts with the softness inside. The 100% cotton fabric is made on the same vintage machines used at the factory's opening. The weaving process is slow but gives the pieces an irregular appearance and superior strength.

The result is a heavy and dense sweatshirt with a unique texture, which retains its shape and fit even after many wears and washes. It is a very high-quality piece that will delight lovers of good basics offering comfort and longevity. The Half-Zip variant features a trucker collar with a Universal zip, as well as a large typical kangaroo pocket. Unlike the usual round neck and hooded versions, this model offers a loose and relaxed fit, similar to the vintage sport sweats particularly cherished by the brand.

Beneath this minimalist appearance are 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 was designed to ensure ease of movement despite the fabric's weight, notably with the shoulder seam placed at the back. The sweatshirt has also been washed once already to soften the fleece and set the size.
