Buzz Rickson's Bring up Father BR69064 sweatshirt.

The very high quality 13 oz. sweatshirt fabric is woven in Japan on original old 4-needle loop looms from 1920. These looms are special machines used to produce sweatshirts without side seams, also called tubes. It hardly gets any better than this!

• 13oz Jersey
• Circular knit, no side seams
• Rib cuffs: Neckline, sleeves, hem
• Regular fit
• Made in Japan

The sweatshirt has evolved from a wool-knit material to a cotton material with a looped backing, and has evolved as daily wear for the American public as a "sweat-absorbent shirt". The military and military academies, where hard training was a daily routine, were quick to take notice, and the sweatshirt was also sold at base shops scattered across the USA. The material has a unique flexibility because it is made using a tubular suspension knitting machine, which knits the material under uneven tension, just as it did at the time. The V-shaped gusset is sewn with a rib material on top of the body, commonly known as a "beaten V".
