WORKERS Atozuke Parka/PLAIN, Grey x V Blue

WORKERS' original extra-thick, almost shape-resistant back fleece series. Retrofit hoodie. The 18-gauge knitting is tightly packed, so it resists losing its shape. Weighing about 15 ounces, it's what you'd call an 'ultra-heavyweight sweatshirt.' But since it doesn't use synthetic fiber, it's supple. A subtle change is the gray ribbing. Please compare it to last year's gray. The ribbed color is very close to the body. Because of this color, the ribs were custom-knitted. The body's lining is a mix of 'front yarn (gray),' 'middle yarn (white),' and 'backing yarn (white).' If you simply knit ribs with 'front yarn (gray),' the ribs will have a darker color because there are no 'middle yarn' and 'back yarn.' That misalignment can sometimes look cool in a two-tone style, but this year I wanted to try matching it. The fabric shop told me, 'If you make ribs too, it will be expensive,' so I ended up making them custom-made. Furthermore, since I was going to make it, I knitted ribs in a different gray yarn called GR3. This is the color name of the top gray yarn from Shinuchi Gaimen, familiar to those in the cut-and-sew industry. I paired it with a subtle two-tone look with the Pure White body. Cute. The two-tone pocket color scheme is popular every year. This year, it's Grey x VI Blue. A 90s fleece-inspired VI Blue made by J Jacket. I intentionally matched the shape of a sour hoodie with colors that would be almost impossible in vintage styles.
