1940s-inspired slight boxy-fit sweatshirt elevated with a luxurious farm-to-loom wool-based fleece.  Finished with organic cotton 1x1 rib and custom-knitted neck tape. This new 145 GSM version of our fabric is about 15% heavier than the 125 GSM version (in natural) with more compact feel and a flecked wool surface which will further in nubbyness over time.

 

The fuzzy, napped inside of this Rambouillet Fleece is made of the smooth, soft wool from Rambouillet sheep, regeneratively-raised by BARE RANCH, a high desert ranch spanning Northwest-Nevada & Northern California. The smooth, slightly puckered  outside (also the rib and tape) is made from Organic Upland Cotton grown by T.O.C.M.C, a co-operative of organic farmers in South Plains Texas. 

 

After the raw cotton and wool are ginned, carded, washed & combed, they are spun into yarns by small mills in North Carolina and Maine. The yarns are then knitted into fabric by our specialty-mill in Quebec. Another specialty-mill in Quebec makes the tape.

 

Each sweatshirt is finished with a hand-chronicled label, tracing the wool & cotton's journey from farm-to-final-garment. 

 

 Care: Hand wash cool, air dry flat. Can potentially be machined washed following specific steps here.  This garment may gain a natural nubbyness, over time, much like a wool sweater.
