TOYS McCOY Men's Steve McQueen Cut-Off Sweatshirt - "The Great Escape" Movie Reproduction, TMC2540 Blue

TOYS McCOY

This men's casual sweatshirt is made in Japan by TOYS McCOY, a brand renowned for its vintage-inspired garments and accessories. Part of the TOYS McCOY Steve McQueen Collection, this model faithfully reproduces the blue cut-off sleeve sweatshirt worn by Steve McQueen as Captain Virgil Hilts in The Great Escape. TOYS McCOY has revived this iconic piece as a tribute to McQueen's enduring legacy. Expertly crafted with the brand's signature attention to detail, it captures the distinctive character of classic American movie costumes while blending effortlessly into modern casual style, bridging the authentic character of McQueen's on-screen style with everyday wearability. The fabric used for this model is made of 100% cotton, raw/unwashed, 14.8 oz extra heavyweight loopwheel fabric with a soft brushed interior backing. This sweatshirt features authentic tubular loopwheel construction with no side seams, offering a rugged surface texture and a distinctive feel throughout the fabric. The material presents a faded blue hue that enhances its vintage character. It is delivered in a raw, unwashed state, meaning it has not been pre-washed during production. Initially, the fabric exhibits a slightly loose weave; however, after washing, the cotton fibers contract, resulting in a denser and thicker texture. When washed in cold water and air-dried in the shade, the garment is expected to experience minor shrinkage mainly in length, with minimal change in width. Please avoid washing in hot water or using a tumble dryer, as excessive heat may cause unpredictable shrinkage. Design details include cut-off raglan sleeves with raw-edge openings, a ribbed crew neckline, a vintage-style extended rib-knit waistband, and sleeves constructed with four-needle flatlock seams. As a subtle accent, a TOYS McCOY brand label is sewn near the right hem on the back. 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 (38) 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. The cropped silhouette not only reproduces the look of Steve McQueen's sweatshirt in The Great Escape but also prevents excess fabric from bunching when seated. It is a brand-new, original release from TOYS McCOY that combines Steve McQueen's iconic on-screen style with the brand's signature craftsmanship and dedication to detail.

Fabric: The fabric used for this model is made of 100% cotton, raw/unwashed, 14.8 oz extra heavyweight loopwheel fabric with a soft brushed interior backing. This sweatshirt features authentic tubular loopwheel construction with no side seams, offering a rugged surface texture and a distinctive feel throughout the fabric. The material presents a faded blue hue that enhances its vintage character. It is delivered in a raw, unwashed state, meaning it has not been pre-washed during production. Initially, the fabric exhibits a slightly loose weave; however, after washing, the cotton fibers contract, resulting in a denser and thicker texture. When washed in cold water and air-dried in the shade, the garment is expected to experience minor shrinkage mainly in length, with minimal change in width. Please avoid washing in hot water or using a tumble dryer, as excessive heat may cause unpredictable shrinkage.

Body: This sweatshirt is made using a loop-wheeling machine, which knits the fabric in a seamless, continuous tube - eliminating the need for side seams. The fabric is produced with minimal tension during the knitting process, allowing it to retain its shape through repeated wear and washing. This method ensures both durability and a naturally soft feel for superior comfort. Loop-wheeling looms are specialized machines that knit fabric in a perfect tubular form. However, each loom can produce only one set diameter (size), meaning a dedicated loom is required for every size. This limitation makes true tubular construction rare in modern garment production.

Collar: The ribbed crew neckband is made from folded double-layer rib knit fabric, offering a secure yet comfortable fit with excellent stretch and long-lasting shape retention. It is attached to the body with two-needle stitching.

Waistband: The waistband is constructed from folded-over, double-layer rib knit, designed to provide a snug and comfortable fit with natural stretch while maintaining its shape over time. The ribbing is intentionally extended in length compared to standard waistbands, giving the garment a vintage-inspired look while further enhancing shape retention at the waist, helping to block out cold air and keep warmth in.

Sleeve Construction: Raglan sleeves with cut-off, raw-edge openings provide a distinctive vintage athletic aesthetic and facilitate ease of movement. Sleeves are designed to reach approximately to the elbow.

Sleeve Length: Elbow length sleeve.

Pattern Type: Solid color (plain).

Other details: The sleeves are constructed with four-needle flatlock seams for enhanced durability and comfort. This flatlock construction keeps the seams strong and flat against the body, reducing bulk and improving ease of movement. A TOYS McCOY brand label is sewn on the back-right-side hem.
