Product Insights
The Brady Zip-Collar Sweatshirt by Les Deux is a midweight 100% cotton loopback jersey that delivers a structured silhouette and natural ventilation, cooler and less bulky than fleece, while its loopback knit resists pilling and retains sharp collar and cuffs even as the fabric softens with age. The screen-printed crest logo achieves a vintage varsity aesthetic but requires cold washing and line drying to prevent shrinkage and maintain integrity. Its short collar zip and regular fit (size up for loose) complete a crisp, collegiate look that balances durable shape retention with a need for careful maintenance.
