Champion's story begins back in 1919. The brand has introduced numerous innovative athletic wear items to the world, including its iconic 'Reverse Weave' sweatshirt, which uses horizontally-oriented fabric to reduce shrinkage.
In 2019, to celebrate its 100th anniversary, Champion launched the 'TRUE TO ARCHIVES' collection. As the name suggests, it's a 'complete reproduction line' that faithfully recreates pieces from the brand's rich historical archives.
Now, from the 'TRUE TO ARCHIVES' collection, comes an 'After-Hooded Sweatshirt' so masterfully crafted it looks like a genuine vintage find from every angle. We talked to Champion's PR team to get the inside scoop on this masterpiece, a true embodiment of the brand's enduring craftsmanship.

The Double-Layered Fabric That Inspired the Product Name

When you hear 'After-Hooded Sweatshirt,' can you picture it? It's a hoodie where the hood isn't integrated into the body but is sewn on afterwards. This design is said to have originated in the 1950s. Originals from that era are extremely rare, making them highly sought-after items among vintage clothing fans.
