90's Half Sleeves Print Sweatshirt 【WATKINS GLEN】BR-25115

"The fabric has been updated and is back again this year."

Short-sleeved sweatshirts have become a staple item for the start of the spring and summer season. This year, while keeping the same feel as last year, the fabric has been updated to a sturdy fleece fabric with 20-count BD yarn on the front and 10-count BD yarn on the back for a lighter feel that suits spring and summer. By using 20-count yarn on the front, it is supple and comfortable to wear, while retaining the rough, unrefined feel that is characteristic of BD yarn, making it an item that takes the best of both worlds. This time, the design features a biker motif from the birthplace of road racing.

“Watkins Glen, the birthplace of road racing”

Watkins Glen is a hilly area rich in nature, located about 300 km northwest of New York City. This area is said to be the birthplace of road racing and is a city where motor sports such as F1 are popular. After spectators were killed in a race in 1952, the race was moved to the mountains near the city and the circuit was built there. The motif of the print is a biker dashing through a town with a history of motor sports on his motorcycle. The print is a luxurious print called colored flocking, which is printed with cracked flocking and then colored. It is a piece that you can enjoy the change in the print over time.

The difference between the front and back of the neckline has been reduced to create a more vintage-like feel.

Raglan sleeves, which are often used in sports and training wear, have the functional advantage of allowing ease of movement of the shoulders and arms and making the garment easy to put on and take off, as well as the aesthetic advantage of making shoulder width less noticeable by making the position of the shoulders unclear.

The cuffs and hem have a subtle ribbing that is not too strong, giving it a vintage sweatshirt feel, but without the excessive ribbing that is common with vintage sweatshirts, making it easy to wear.

The unique unevenness is expressed by using a method called pigment dyeing, which applies color only to the surface of the fabric. The color gradually fades with repeated washing, so you can enjoy the changes over time and the item will become a unique piece.
