The sweatshirt—a staple of American casual fashion. Known for being the first in the world to create it, 〈Russell Athletic (RUSSELL ATHLETIC),"berberidine"We are currently selling collaboration items with [...].
This collaboration features a lineup of four styles. Kosuke Makita of “Berberjin” drew inspiration for the designs from vintage items he discovered while sourcing in the United States.
Soft Loop Back Sweatshirt CN ¥12,100
This is a crewneck sweatshirt with a terry-cloth lining. By using a terry-cloth construction rather than a brushed finish, it achieves a moderate thickness that falls somewhere between a T-shirt and a sweatshirt. The loops on the inner side absorb sweat easily and provide excellent breathability, making it comfortable to wear year-round. The collaboration tag on the left hem adds a subtle accent.
Nu Blend Sweat × Athletic Jersey Double-Faced Hoodie ¥13,200
This hoodie features “Nu Blend™ Sweat,” a cotton-polyester blend fabric, on the outer layer. By using cotton on the outside and polyester on the inside, it achieves a natural feel while also being lightweight and quick-drying. Another appealing feature is that the polyester content helps the garment retain its shape. A key feature is the “gold tag”—commonly known as the “gold tag”—attached to the pocket, which is typically found in the earliest eras of the archive.
High Cotton™ Snap Button Hoodie ¥14,300
Next up is a snap-button hoodie made from “HIGH COTTON™,” a poly-cotton fabric with a cotton blend of 80% or higher. It features a smooth texture and a substantial, firm feel. The eye-catching detail is the drawstring at the hem. By tightening it, you can adjust the silhouette, expanding your styling options. With zip-up hoodies all the rage right now, why not stand out from the crowd with a snap-button hoodie?
Pro Cotton™ Double-Faced Zip-Up Hoodie ¥ 29,700
Among Russell Athletic’s sweatshirt collection, the “PRO COTTON™” designation is reserved exclusively for heavyweight sweatshirts weighing 12.5 ounces or more. This special fabric was originally developed for athletes. This zip-up hoodie is made with a generous amount of that very fabric. It offers exceptional durability that can withstand the intense movements of sports, combined with a premium feel derived from its substantial weight.
The items I introduced are “Berberzin Boardwalk"Now available for pre-release. It will go on sale at all stores carrying 〈Russell Athletic〉 starting Saturday, the 24th. Don't miss this collaboration between the originator of the sweatshirt and a shop with a keen eye for style."
