Boro Patchwork Sweatshirt | Men's Vintage Heavyweight Crewneck
Classic Crewneck. Boro Patchwork Elbows.
Men's vintage crewneck sweatshirt with boro-style patchwork on the elbows.
A 260 gsm cotton-blend sweat with a slight stretch that holds its shape, finished with a V-stitch at the neck and a woven label.
The Story Behind It
Boro is the Japanese tradition of patching and re-stitching worn workwear so it lasts for generations. Those indigo patchworks are now treasured by collectors, and Amekaji style borrows the look for everyday pieces. This sweatshirt puts boro-style patches where a sweat wears first: the elbows.
