The Russ: The Sweatshirt Upgrade You Didn't Know You Needed

The Russ: The Sweatshirt Upgrade You Didn't Know You Needed

The everyday essential, perfected.



There’s a version of the Russ Crewneck that everyone’s had at some point. Usually with a college name on it, usually purchased from a rack near the student union, usually worn until it’s barely holding itself together. Comfortable in the way things become comfortable after years of use. Sentimental. But not, if we're being honest, particularly well made. The Russ is what happens when you start with that same essential garment and apply B. Draddy’s standards to it. The result is a crewneck that feels, from the very first wear, like the one you've been looking for all along.

The fabric is garment-washed French terry made from the softest Peruvian Pima cotton blend. Before the Russ gets to you, it’s washed to produce the softness and subtle texture that usually requires years of regular laundering to achieve. It arrives broken in. Not worn out, but broken in. 

The construction reflects the same quiet, considered approach that we apply to everything. A triangle stitch at the crewneck for that classic, vintage sportswear-inspired look. A partially ribbed hem and cuffs that hold their shape. A kangaroo pocket sewn directly into the garment rather than applied on top, giving the front a cleaner, more tailored line. 

It goes with everything in your closet. It’s comfortable enough for a slow morning, and polished enough for wherever the day sends you after. The Russ delivers exactly what a great everyday crewneck should, and then it quietly does a little more.
