This crewneck sweatshirt from BEAMS PLUS is constructed using a rare Azuma knitting machine — one of the few remaining from the 1970s — producing a heavyweight domestic terry cloth fabric from 30/30/7 count yarn. The reverse side is brushed for added warmth, making it well-suited to autumn and winter wear. A seamless tubular knit construction, set-in sleeves, and standard ribbed cuffs give it a clean, classic silhouette rooted in Japanese craftsmanship.
