From the denim brand graphzero in Kojima, Kurashiki city, known as the top jeans producing town in Japan, comes a sweatshirt with a gentle feel and heathered fabric!
The design, called "freedom sleeves," features an S-shaped curve at the switching part, which gives a clean shoulder and high mobility, making it easy to move your arms. Of course, it goes great with graphzero jeans! You can wear it throughout the long seasons, from fall to winter to early spring. |
"Freedom Sleep" for easy arm movement |
▲Grey heather
▲ Natural
This freedom sleeve is a sleeve attachment method often seen on vintage sweatshirts from the 1940s and 1950s, and has a unique classic feel that you can't get from ordinary sweatshirts.
You can choose from two colors: a standard, calm gray heather and a refreshing ecru color. Both colors have a casual feel that goes well with bottoms such as jeans. |
The design, print, name tag... it's full of attention to detail |
S-shaped "freedom sleeve" and logo
Special name tags
The transition between the sleeves and the body is sewn with a four-needle stitch, which is used in vintage sweatshirts, etc. The stitching is flat, and the mesh stitching is a subtle accent to the design.
The logo part with "GraphZero dye" written on it is dyed with indigo, which is used for dyeing jeans, for the off-white color, and the gray heathered color is fixed with ink using natural konnyaku glue. It blends naturally into the fabric and will not crack over time like regular prints. Another point is that it has a pocket with a sturdy welt finish, which is very convenient when it's a little cold.
The front and back of the name tag also feature the message of graphzero along with the Hinomaru flag, which symbolizes Japan. On the front, "Vintage Schooler Jap jeans GrahZeeero..." is written in a casual style, and on the back, the English translation of a Japanese proverb is written: "Momo kuri sannen kaki hachinen (Nothing can be done without the right time, everything takes a long time to bear fruit)." |
Convenient and stylish with pockets on both sides |

Durable pockets that fit your hands comfortably
This sweatshirt has a casual, relaxed feel, but the stitching, elegant logo design, and color scheme make it casual enough that it's not too loose.
In addition, it has a simple design with pockets, so it is very functional. It is convenient even when you go out for a short time. |
Widened hem and cuffs
The lining is made of pile fabric for a soft feel
The lining is a pile fabric made by loosening some of the warp threads to create a loop-like shape, and it has a soft, fluffy, towel-like feel and is comfortable to wear.
The hem and cuffs are tapered just enough to fit your body nicely without bunching. |
