Long Live the Raglan Sleeve Sweatshirt
Here's what we love about menswear. Something can be at once utterly classic and yet thoroughly modern. Take the humble sweatshirt. It's one of those rare items that will eternally be in style. All American. Ruggedly masculine. But it can also change in ever so subtle ways which end up making this timeless staple look altogether new and fresh. The lighter, slim-fitting sweatshirts we've all be wearing for the last few years have given way to cozier, cushier styles with a slightly looser, more relaxed fit. And raglan sleeves—another "so old it's new again" style. Rather than having the standard seam at the end of your shoulder, these let the fabric flow straight from your sleeve into the collar. It's an old tailoring technique that makes for easier movements and it's been reimagined in the perfect proportions for today's taste in clothing. Now that you want to get one yourself, we've taken the liberty of shopping for the best on the market right now.
