Benji Sweatshirt

The Benji Sweatshirt is handmade in London using a single-needle machine, continuing our approach to slow, considered garment construction. You may come across some slightly wobbly stitching, chalk notches, or other small traces of the making process on your product, but we like to celebrate the unique character of each piece. Rest assured, these details will not affect the fit or wear of the sweatshirt; however, please be certain you are comfortable with this when making a purchase.

Made from 250gsm Micro Waffle Knit, composed of 85% Recycled Polyester and 15% Elastane, the Benji Sweatshirt has a soft, textured handle with a comfortable degree of stretch. The fine waffle construction gives the fabric a subtle surface texture while remaining lightweight and flexible, offering an easy balance between structure and movement.

Cut with a relaxed, boxy silhouette, the sweatshirt features an extended shoulder and sleeve construction, a high funnel neckline and a raw-cut hem. A horizontal seam runs across the upper chest, defining the yoke panel and continuing into the sleeves to create a clean, structured shape. The generous width through the body and sleeves is balanced by gathered ribbed cuffs, giving the garment its distinctive proportions. The exposed raw hem and visible seam lines reflect our approach to construction, allowing the details of how the garment is assembled to become part of its design.

Key Features

• 250gsm Micro Waffle Knit
  Made from 85% Recycled Polyester and 15% Elastane, the 250gsm micro waffle fabric has a fine, textured surface with a soft, flexible handle. The combination of recycled fibres and elastane provides a comfortable degree of stretch while allowing the sweatshirt to maintain its relaxed silhouette.
• High Funnel Neckline
  A softly structured, high funnel collar sits comfortably around the neck, giving the sweatshirt a distinctive shape without feeling overly restrictive. The generous folded construction adds subtle volume and provides a considered alternative to a traditional crew neckline.
• Extended Shoulder and Sleeve Construction
  The sweatshirt features an extended shoulder construction, with a horizontal yoke seam running across the upper chest and continuing into the sleeve panels. This removes the conventional shoulder seam and creates a continuous line from the neckline towards the arms, emphasising the garment's wide, relaxed proportions.
• Horizontal Yoke Seam
  A defined horizontal seam runs across the upper chest, separating the upper shoulder panel from the main body. This construction gives subtle structure to the otherwise relaxed silhouette, making the seam placement a considered part of the design.
• Relaxed, Boxy Fit
  Cut with generous width through the body and a slightly cropped length, the Benji Sweatshirt has a relaxed, boxy silhouette. The extended shoulder construction creates a broad, softly structured shape, balanced by the clean, straight finish of the raw-cut hem.
• Voluminous Sleeves
  The generously proportioned sleeves extend naturally from the shoulder panels, creating a relaxed shape through the arms before gathering into fitted ribbed cuffs. The contrast between the wide sleeve construction and narrower cuffs gives definition to the silhouette while maintaining ease of movement.
• Raw-Cut Hem
  The sweatshirt is finished with a raw-cut, unbanded hem, leaving the edge of the micro waffle fabric visible. This understated finish reinforces the garment's relaxed character and reflects our preference for honest, uncomplicated construction.
• Ribbed Cuffs
  Wide ribbed cuffs gather the volume of the sleeves at the wrists, providing a comfortable, secure finish while creating a subtle contrast with the textured micro waffle body.
• Textured Fabric Construction
  The fine micro waffle knit introduces a subtle, uniform texture across the body and sleeves. Its lightweight structure and gentle stretch give the sweatshirt a soft drape, balancing the generous proportions of the cut.
• Handmade in London
  Each sweatshirt is individually constructed in London using a single-needle machine, reflecting a slower and more meticulous approach to garment making. Small variations in stitching and finishing are part of the individual character of each piece.
