This crewneck sweatshirt from BEAMS PLUS is produced in Japan using fabric knitted on a rare 1970s Azuma machine — one of the transitional loopwheel-era machines with extremely slow output of just one to two rolls per day. That unhurried process yields a 30/30/7 count heavyweight terry cloth with a brushed reverse side that delivers notable warmth and a voluminous hand feel. The construction features set-in sleeves, standard ribbed cuffs, and a seamless tubular knit body for a clean, comfortable fit suited to autumn and winter wear.
