Pops up when the sun goes down
For the in-between bits
You know, when the sun clears off and your T-shirt starts losing the fight? That’s when this fella steps in. Not quite a full blooded jumper, definitely not a tee—The Light Sweatshirt is knitted in 280g/m² jersey and is the first extra layer you’ll be reaching for this summer and the next.
100 per scent
We’ve all been there: you’ve hardly made a dent on the starter and you’re already starting to regret your choice of knitwear. Sweaty, chilly - not this time. Thanks to its 100% organic cotton flamé jersey, it’s light, breathable and not one to hold onto odours. None will be inching away from you halfway through the evening.
A bit of texture never hurt anyone
Inspired by Japan’s best, this flamé jersey packs a lot of character. The weave’s got a subtle texture that elevates it from being just another basic layer. Comfy and cool without having to try too hard—which, let’s be honest, is what we’re all trying to achieve.
No ribbed hems, no sweat
We ditched the ribbed hem for an airier feel and added side slits for added movement. The fit’s dialled in too: neither boxy nor clingy. Just solid, simple and deeply wearable when the temperature’s bouncing up and down like a playlist on shuffle.
Built like a featherweight tank
Don’t be fooled by the name— the Light Sweatshirt might feel soft, but it’s made to last. Triple-stitched neckline, double topstitched hem and sleeves, and a solid all-around build. It’ll take whatever summer throws at you (and then some).
The unofficial drink of summer
If this sweatshirt were a drink, it’d be a crisp tonic with a slice of lime: fresh, fuss-free, and always hits the spot. Whether you're firing up the BBQ, heading to the beach, or just popping round the corner, the Light Sweatshirt’s got your back when the sun’s on its way out and a chill starts creeping in.
