Sweat Shopping

Sweatshirts. They look cool. But I've always struggled to find any that excite me. So therefore, sweatshirt less, I'm uncool. Actually I'm over warm, sweating my balls off in a lambswool knit, when what's required is a temperature controlling cotton pullover.

Anyway my wait is over, finally found a corker of a sweatshirt that's Rich in quality. Woolrich are one of the USAs finest in outdoor clothing, and rather pleasingly, were started by an Englishman. John Rich was fresh off the boat in the late 1800s, landing in the new world looking to seek his fortune. Found it he did, and for numerous years now his fine wares have been making their way back across the pond, and finding themselves on the backs of Casual Men up and down the terraces.

Love the design of this. Always like the V shape on the crew neck. I find it rebellious. Like the cheap BHS roundnecks you used to wear at school when the uniform was a proper big wooly V neck. Also love the minimum branding, with just a small tab externally on the ribbed hem. It feels a million dollars on.

Also snaffled a RL 1/4 zip sweat too. Because why not.
