An oversized sweatshirt with color-block horizontal cuts, a ribbed crew neck and waistband, and cuffed sleeves with a cut-off detail — finished with a zip pocket in decorative fabric on the left sleeve.
This oversized sweatshirt features horizontal cuts across the front and back, a rib-knit band at the neckline and a rib-knit waistband at the hem. Sleeves have a cut-off decorative piece with cuffs at the wrist, and the left sleeve carries a zip pocket in a contrasting decorative fabric.
Sized from 8 to 14 years (128–164 cm height).
Knitted fabrics of medium stretch work best, such as two- or three-thread French Terry. A ribbed knit is perfect for the neckline, cuffs and waistband.
Cotton, raincoat fabric, and denim are good choices for the decorative pocket.
