Inspired by 1/4 zip sweatshirts from the 30's-50's, the le tourment 1/4 zip is cut from 15oz loopback cotton french terry and 1x1 rib. This high quality fabric was sourced from mills in Japan with a rich history dating back to the mid 19th century. The weight is perfect; not too heavy or too light, making it an ideal piece for year round wear. To pay tribute to true vintage, the cuff and hem ribbing is cut at 3" high. It features a substantial spread collar and brass riri zipper in a gold finish. All seams are finished with merrow edge overlock and double needle coverstitching, to ensure long lasting wear and durability. the interior of the collar is bound with twill tape to prevent the neck from warping. Not one detail of this piece was overlooked. The felt letters running across the chest are a classic detail found in vintage customized sport sweatshirts. This 1/4 zip is a wardrobe essential, with both formal and casual details.
