Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.
Practical construction details — a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape and the absence of side seams — remove common annoyances so the sweatshirt feels smooth and lasting during everyday use.
- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk
- Made to hold print detail and color after repeated washing
Fit & Style Notes
The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
