From the brand: The BALL PARK HOODED SWEATSHIRT is crafted from heavyweight 12oz cotton fabric, constructed with a four-needle flatlock sewing machine. The fabric is specially knit using a high-speed sinker knitting machine which was originally developed as a more efficient alternative to the traditional loopwheel machine. While the loopwheel is known for its loose weave and slow production, the sinker machine not only increased efficiency but also allows for the creation of denser, heavier fabrics ideal for robust, high-quality garments.
The hooded sweatshirt was originally created in the 1930s by stitching hoods to existing sweatshirt designs as a functional solution for construction workers enduring freezing New York winters. It was quickly adopted by the US military for training exercises and physical education classes.
