More than just the fit, Stephen Liquori, the founder and CEO explained how "the team at Goodwear worked with the knitter and finisher to develop just the right balance of fabric in a thick looped French terry inside the sweatshirt." The yarn is made from a tri-blend process of 80% cotton, 15% polyester and 5% rayon producing a unique heather look on the face of the garment in a rich charcoal color. The fabric weight of this sweatshirt tips the scales at a full 12 ounces per square yard. Other features include cross grain front panels and two-ply gusseted side rib. Try this sweatshirt on and immediately experience the DNA of the Goodwear brand.
