The Contender Sweatshirt - White/Oatmeal

DESCRIPTION
  • The Mister Freedom® CONTENDER blends three all-American old-timers: the classic cotton fleeced practice jersey sweatshirt (see our MEDALIST rendition), the hooded sweatshirt, and full zip-front sweatshirt.
  • For our CONTENDER, we opted for the early “attached hood” type pattern, as it was referred-to in the late 1930s – early 40s.
  • Instead of the classic pull-over hooded sweatshirt pattern, we opted for a zip-front closure.
  • The body of the CONTENDER is cut from tubular fleeced jersey knit, and the sturdy construction guaranteed by old-school four-needle flat lock stitching.
  • SPECS
  • Two-tone 100% cotton tubular brushed fleece, white/oatmeal heather, 11.5 Oz.
  • DETAILS:
  • * An original mfsc pattern inspired by vintage 1940s-50s classic American crewneck & hooded sweatshirts and period athletic wear.
  • * Tubular body (no side seams).
  • * 1930s fashion “attached hood” pattern, draw string cinch.
  • * Full-zip front opening, with 1950s-style “Universal” cotton-tape metal zipper.
  • * “Drop shoulder” pattern.
  • * Fancy all-cotton 1×5 needle-out ribbing waistband, cuffs, and neckband.
  • * Original curved split muff pocket design.
  • * Vintage-style extra-long waistband and cuffs.
  • * Four-needle flat lock stitching construction.
  • * Original mfsc “PODIUM” rayon woven label.
  • SIZING/FIT
  • The MF® CONTENDER Attached-Hood Zip-Front Sweatshirt comes raw (un-rinsed) and we recommend this protocol before wearing, so that the garment shrinks to tagged size:
  • Depending on your own personal style, preference of silhouette, body type, and whether you’re going old-school vintage or contemporary streetwear, the size that will work for you is subjective.
  • CL's Advice: I opted for a size SMALL in the CONTENDER, for a shorter “period” look, matching one’s natural waist rather than covering the back pockets of jeans.
  • Just a personal preference for the vintage vibe.
  • I am 5’7 / 145 lbs.
  • CARE
  • Low maintenance garment.
  • Launder when needed, always fully un-zipped.
  • Do not include fragile garments in the same wash/dry load, as the metal zipper pull and teeth may snag delicate knit fabrics.
  • STORY
  • The Mister Freedom® CONTENDER blends three all-American old-timers: the classic cotton fleeced practice jersey sweatshirt (see our MEDALIST rendition), the hooded sweatshirt, and full zip-front sweatshirt.
  • For our CONTENDER, we opted for the early “attached hood” type pattern, as it was referred-to in the late 1930s – early 40s. “Attached” doesn’t mean detachable, but rather refers to the early days when hoods were merely mounted on crewneck sweatshirts, not part of the neck construction.
  • The hood was stitched to the body, right below the jersey rib neckband, a quick way to retro-fit a regular crewneck sweatshirt for the colder months.
  • In later models of hooded sweatshirts (1940s onward), the hood would completely replace the rib neckband and be serged directly on the neck line, as on today’s common hoodies.
  • The Mister Freedom® CONTENDER old-school attached hood is lined with a cotton knit jersey, of average T-shirt weight.
  • Instead of the classic pull-over hooded sweatshirt pattern, we opted for a zip-front closure.
  • Buttoned-front cardigans are quite common in 1930s-40s menswear, but full zip-front sweatshirts with rib knit neckbands seem to have entered American sportswear fashion in the mid 1950s (Pilgrim, Akom, etc…), only preceded by occasional home-made protos with DIY zipper jobs.
  • Full zip-front sweatshirts with hoods appear to have been introduced later, sometime in the early 1960s, and grew in popularity in the 1970s-80s.
  • We worked on the design of the split muff pockets of our CONTENDER for some time, and settled on a curved shape with flat-lock stitch construction, elegantly blending-in the waistband.
  • The body of the CONTENDER is cut from tubular fleeced jersey knit, and the sturdy construction guaranteed by old-school four-needle flat lock stitching.
