Our Vintage Heavyweight knits line is growing. Today we bring you the perfect old-school sweatshort. These take you back in time in all the best ways with heavyweight fabric built to last paired with iconic styling. We add a great value for an unbeatable package. Meet the Vintage Heavyweight Sweatshorts.
Fabric
We sought fabric that would instantly take you back in time. Heavy cotton fleece is the answer - the same we use in our Heavyweight Sweatshirt and Pullover Hoodie. Extra burly and dense with a hand that stands out. It starts off with a touch of coarseness. You have to earn your comfort like raw denim, but over time it develops into the perfect mix of weight and suppleness. The finish is a luxuriously brushed backside for comfort. The instant you touch this sweatshort you'll get it. Our partner mill in Canada delivers like no other.
Construction
All the details are dialed in. Flatlocked seams. An extra chunky, thick waistband with drawcord. Perfectly sized hand pockets. Single rear patch pocket. Of course, these get our supple, veg tan leather patch treatment.
Fit
We'd call it the sweetspot - not too loose, not too tight. Just right and a good match for the vintage inspiration and heavy weight fabric.
Not a bargain basement price for members of the working class, though because these are precision cut and sewn of very high quality fabric they will pay their way over time. I have never had more comfortable lounging shorts than these. For those who need comfort in interior spaces I recommend sizing up one size for the luxury feel... which for me is to the XXL.

"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
