Ginew’s Team Crew Sweats Are Based On Erik Brodt’s Old College Sweatshirts

Ginew‘s Crew Sweatshirt pulls as much from the closet as they do classic details, manufacturing methods, and quality. Inspired by Ginew co-founder Erik Brodt‘s old collegiate team-issued sweatshirts, which have endured closet cleanouts for the last 20 years, the Crew Sweatshirt is a chip off the old block and then some.

Made from French Terry fabric in a small family-owned factory in California — no you’re not dreaming — this sweatshirt doesn’t compromise anything…for anything. This is apparent in even the smallest details. Not only are the sweats made in the States, they are constructed of 100% USA-made materials, down to the thread. And that tells me all I need to know to be a fan of the brand.

Tipping its sweatband to sweatshirts past, the crew sweat features a single V neck gusset and curvey, almost freedom-style, raglan sleeves which work to maximize comfort and ruggedness- two essentials considering it’s going to survive your closet purges for years to come.

Available for $148 at Ginew
