All popular clothing pieces have their own origin story - just like the crewneck: The origin of this sweatshirt can be found in the 1920s, when quarterback Benjamin Russell Jr. was completely annoyed by his sportswear. Back then it was common to wear wool sweaters for football, which constantly rubbed against the skin and were scratchy. Ouch! A new solution was therefore needed.
Russell Jr.'s idea: A long-sleeved shirt without a collar made of soft cotton fabric, thinner than wool, which wicked the football players' sweat better to the outside. At the same time, the textiles were durable and could withstand a lot. The highlight: the loose cut, because even the players' shoulder pads fit under the shirt. The round neckline was called a crewneck, and the sporty pullover style was called a sweatshirt.
To this day, the crewneck sweatshirt is valued as a comfortable top that goes well with almost any occasion - depending on the fit and look. The secret of its popularity lies in cotton: as a natural raw material, it is breathable and gentle on the skin. In addition, cotton fibers can absorb a lot of water, so that athletes, skaters or sneakerheads don't freeze even when they sweat. The soft surface is ultimately what gives cotton clothing the comfort factor of a crewneck, so we can no longer – and don’t want to – imagine life without a sweatshirt.
The Fitting Variety goes one better with crewnecks: whether it's a tighter cut or trendy oversized with slightly dropped shoulders, everyone can find a sweatshirt style that looks nice. And thanks to stylish features such as large, eye-catching prints, the sweater look has quickly arrived on the streetwear scene. More and more brands are now experimenting with crewneck materials and bringing hot pieces made of acrylic and mohair, for example, onto the market. So you can be sure: as long as there is street fashion, there will be crewneck sweatshirts.
Crewnecks are perfect for layered looks. A sweatshirt with a crew neck collar is a real game changer, especially on colder days. In winter, we recommend wearing other long-sleeved, collared pieces under your crewneck - for example a turtleneck sweater or a chic polo shirt when things get more festive. In summer, the crewneck sweater is your best party companion: leave the club with a T-shirt , a sweatshirt over it, and you're good to go! Ladies also look great in crewnecks for men: the wide fit of the sweatshirts creates a loose silhouette with a relaxed vibe in women's outfits. If you like it even more comfortable, you can order the crewneck sweater a few sizes larger and convert it into a lounge dress. Add leggings, a pair of cool sneakers and your chill outfit is ready!
