Sweatshirts

The sweatshirt itself was born from athletic wear — originally made from wool knits and decorated with school emblems and felt patches. When cotton replaced wool in the late 1920s, it evolved into the soft yet durable form we know today.

Just like selvedge denim, "Tsuri-ami" loopwheel knitting is one of the most iconic symbols of Japanese craftsmanship — representing a slower, more deliberate way of making things that never goes out of style. Sweatshirts and denim share the same spirit: simple, sturdy, and timeless.

At Mention, we offer Japanese-made sweatshirts crafted on traditional loopwheel machines in Wakayama and tubular knit structures. From double V-gusset crews to half-zips, hooded parkas, and full-zip styles, each piece blends comfort with structure — easy to match, made to last, and always in style.
