WORKERS Cotton RAF Sweater, Fade Black

The body is made of extra-thick jersey. The knitting structure is the same as that of a T-shirt, but by using multiple extra-thick yarns, it becomes as thick as a low-gauge sweater. The back of the fabric is also brushed to make it even more sweater-like. I wore it a lot this winter. It's really warm. It's casual like a sweatshirt, but has the feel of a sweater. It has ribbing, lots of needlework, and a pronounced uneven texture. The more you remove the needles (make the surface uneven), the better the stretch will be, but the less it will bounce back. Find the right balance by removing the needles. The RAF Sweater is inspired by the high-necked sweater worn by the RAF pilots in the film Dunkerque. When worn with just a T-shirt underneath, the fleece feels comfortable against the skin. In the middle of winter, it's warm to wear an inner layer under the RAF Sweater. Icebreaker is made of 100% wool, but it's not itchy. If you're worried about itchiness, we recommend synthetic fibers like Patagonia's Capilene or Montbell Geoline. If you wear the RAF Sweater as an inner layer and then a thick lined jacket on top of that, you should be fine even in the middle of winter. One subtle change this year is that the white yarn is not left in its original color, but is first bleached (pure white) and then re-dyed in white. The process is the same as for other colored yarns: "first bleached and then dyed white." The reason is that previously the body and ribs were almost the same color in off-white, although the thickness of the thread was different, but when you look at this year's samples they are completely different. Supply chains around the world are in disarray, and even if we order yarn of the same standard, it won't be the same, so we take the time to maintain quality. For products that use off-white yarn like this, we make new samples every time, because the quality of the yarn varies from year to year, as in this case. Even with such materials, the unit price increases and it takes a lot of effort...I apologize for the gradual increase in prices. The product has been overhauled.
