TOYS McCOY

Available Colors

This men's graphic crewneck sweatshirt is made in Japan by TOYS McCOY, a brand renowned for its vintage-inspired craftsmanship. Based on a modern reproduction of classic American athletic sweatshirts from the mid-20th century and constructed using traditional loopwheel knitting, this model incorporates TOYS McCOY's original printed graphic artwork into its design, adding a distinctive and nostalgic visual appeal. Expertly crafted with the brand's signature attention to detail, it blends timeless aesthetics with today's casual style, bridging classic authenticity and everyday wearability. The fabric used for this model is a 100% cotton, extra heavyweight 14.8 oz loopwheeled fleece with a soft brushed backing. The authentic tubular loopwheel construction means the body is knitted slowly under minimal tension, forming a seamless tube with no side seams. This traditional method enhances the fabric's firmness and durability while maintaining a naturally supple texture. The result is a material that combines a rugged surface character with a distinctive hand feel reminiscent of vintage athletic wear. Its subtly faded tone further enhances the garment's well-worn, lived-in look. Delivered in a raw, unwashed state, the fabric has not been pre-washed during production. Initially, it has a slightly loose weave; however, after washing, the cotton fibers naturally contract, resulting in a denser and thicker texture. When washed in cold water and air-dried in the shade, only minor shrinkage - mainly in length - is expected, with minimal change in width. Avoid hot water or tumble drying, as excessive heat may cause unpredictable shrinkage. Additional features include long set-in sleeves, a ribbed crew neck with binder construction, and double-layer V-gusset stitching at both the front and back of the neckline. The ribbed cuffs and waistband are finished in an extended vintage-style length, while durable four-needle flatlock seams complete the authentic construction. On the front, the sweatshirt features a vintage-style faded print inspired by Felix the Cat, paying homage to the beloved cartoon character. This item is offered in Japanese (Asian) sizing, which generally runs slightly smaller than standard U.S. and European sizes. For reference, a tagged size Japan M typically corresponds to a U.S./EU size S-M (approximately 36-38 in garment sizing). The sweatshirt provides a comfortable regular fit with a moderately roomy chest, neither too slim nor overly loose, and a shorter, cropped length. This cropped cut not only reproduces the authentic look of a vintage sweatshirt but also helps reduce excess fabric, preventing bunching when seated. This is a brand-new release from TOYS McCOY, combining vintage aesthetics with the brand's signature craftsmanship.

Fabric: The fabric used for this model is a 100% cotton, extra heavyweight 14.8 oz loopwheeled fleece with a soft brushed backing. The authentic tubular loopwheel construction means the body is knitted slowly under minimal tension, forming a seamless tube with no side seams. This traditional method enhances the fabric's firmness and durability while maintaining a naturally supple texture. The result is a material that combines a rugged surface character with a distinctive hand feel reminiscent of vintage athletic wear. Its subtly faded tone further enhances the garment's well-worn, lived-in look. Delivered in a raw, unwashed state, the fabric has not been pre-washed during production. Initially, it has a slightly loose weave; however, after washing, the cotton fibers naturally contract, resulting in a denser and thicker texture. When washed in cold water and air-dried in the shade, only minor shrinkage - mainly in length - is expected, with minimal change in width. Avoid hot water or tumble drying, as excessive heat may cause unpredictable shrinkage.

Body: This sweatshirt is made using a traditional loopwheel knitting machine, which produces the fabric in a seamless tubular form?eliminating the need for side seams. The fabric is knitted under minimal tension, allowing it to maintain its original shape through repeated wear and washing. This slow knitting method ensures both durability and a naturally soft texture for superior comfort. Loopwheel machines are highly specialized and can knit only one fixed diameter per machine, meaning a dedicated loom is required for each garment size. As a result, true tubular construction has become exceptionally rare in modern manufacturing.

Collar: The ribbed crewneck band features a durable binder neck construction, in which the edge of the body fabric is sandwiched and fully enclosed within the folded-over ribbing, then secured with double-needle cover stitching. This method reinforces the neckline and provides greater resistance to stretching and deformation than conventional collars, ensuring long-lasting shape retention even with frequent wear. This sweatshirt also features double-layer V-gusset stitching - often referred to as a V-stitch, V-insert, or sweat catch - at both the front and back below the neckline, creating an authentic vintage look and feel. A triangular piece of ribbed fabric is inserted beneath the collar for added durability and visual interest.

Cuffs and Waistband: Both the cuffs and waistband are constructed from the same folded-over, double-layer rib knit, providing a secure fit with natural stretch and long-lasting comfort while resisting loss of shape over time. The ribbing is deliberately made longer than standard for a vintage-inspired appearance, while also enhancing shape retention at the wrists and waist. This extended rib construction not only contributes to the garment's classic look but also helps block out cold air and retain warmth.

Sleeve Construction: Set-in sleeves for a tailored armhole fit.

Flatseamer Construction: This garment is constructed using a four-needle flatseam machine, a specialized industrial sewing method that joins fabric panels edge to edge without overlapping. The process produces flat, low-profile seams with no bulky allowances, minimizing friction against the skin. The result is a smooth, comfortable interior that reduces chafing during wear. In addition to comfort, flatseam construction offers exceptional strength and durability, keeping the seams securely bonded and maintaining a clean, flat appearance over time.

Print: Finished with a deliberately faded print that replicates the authentic aged look of mid-century athletic wear. The graphic extends across the V-gusset area, where the textured surface and seam construction may cause subtle variations in print density. These slight irregularities are intentional and part of the design, adding authentic character and individuality to each garment.
