The reverse weave sweatshirt was introduced in the late 1930's by a coach's suggestion as a way to reduce shrinkage and add durability thus the reverse weave sweatshirt was born. The Brents reverse weave is reminiscent of this ear. Its durable construction includes double-reinforced seams with a flat lock cover stitch, providing both vintage aesthetic and practical functionality including ribbed collar inset and extra-long cuff. Made of 95/5 cotton poly blend 12 oz fleece, these deadstock pieces were manufactured for Brents by Sew Special Ashboro N.C. in the mid 90's. Limited quantities available.Â
