PURE BLUE JAPAN GENUINE INDIGO DYED SWEATSHIRT
BJ magic for those colder days! Stay cosy in your PBJ.
When it comes to timeless sweaters, two come to mind! The OG USA vintage training sweat and those amazing Scottish woollen knit sweaters. PBJ surprised us by combining these to make up for a new standard for daily use!
This sweatshirt fabric is exclusively made by PBJ. It features a jacquard woven pattern created with a contrast between different hues of indigo-dyed threads. This means that with time the pattern will keep its contrast and gain a more vintage look. The weave allows breathability but features a soft, fluffy textured reverse side that's comfy against the skin.
For added contrast and durability, the neck opening, underarm and cuffs have been ribbed with vintage knitted machine fabric. Air holes have also been inserted with vintage machines usually used for baseball caps.
Whether you are a fan of vintage sweats or sweaters, these are a new classic! Of course, enjoy it with time as it fades to a soulful look.
