Product Insights

The Jamestown Waffle Crew Neck Sweatshirt by Vuori is a mid-layer activewear piece with a waffle knit that provides controlled 25-30% stretch and full recovery without elastane, maintains shape through ribbed trims and reinforced shoulders, and resists pilling via its waffle pattern. Its honeycomb dimples trap air for warmth while allowing 10 cfm air permeability for breathability, and the raised texture accelerates moisture evaporation. The 100% polyester waffle-knit, 55% recycled, resists shrinkage and reduces environmental impact. A 244-person trial found no perceivable difference in fabric feel, but the interior has the same unbrushed waffle texture as the exterior, which is a tradeoff, along with limited color options. The medium chest measures 42–43 inches, one size larger than standard, offering room for layering and unrestricted overhead movement, and it layers well with 25-30% stretch and the chest size for mid-layer room.

    I enjoy the vuori waffle crew. Feels like quality to the touch. A bit loose fitting, but frames the body well. Also, if it's cold, this will help keep you warm without feeling too heavy on you.
