What is GSC, the adult sweatshirt collection?
GSC (Gentleman's Sweatwear Collection) was born from the idea of being able to create a sophisticated sweat outfit that stands out from the crowd without any hassle, even during busy days.
1.Gentle fits
Tops: Oversized for adults that don't look sloppy
The sweatshirts worn by the world's fashionable people who lead the modern fashion industry are basically oversized. However, the problem is that simply wearing a sweatshirt in a larger size can make you feel like you're being worn by the clothes.
We believe that the cause of this problem is that the length and sleeve length (the length from the center of the back of the neck to the cuffs via the shoulders) are too long. GSC sweatshirts are designed with wide shoulders and body width, while the length and sleeve length are adjusted to standard measurements. This allows you to create an outfit that is oversized but does not look sloppy, giving it a mature look.

The slim arm design is also one of the elements that gives it a mature look . It is also designed to be easily worn as an inner layer under coats from stylish dress brands.
Pants: Open hem with one tuck for a classy look
When it comes to sweatpants, the most common style is jogger pants, which have elastic at the hem and a tight silhouette. However, in recent years, a style with open hems that does not have a tight hem has become more popular. The appeal of open hems is that they reduce the sporty atmosphere and are easy to match with casual styles and neat outfits.
On the other hand, if the hem is too wide or too long, the hem can drag on the ground. In addition to the open hem, the GSC also features an adjustable drawstring with a stopper on the inside of the hem.

You can enjoy it with an open hem as well as a tapered hem style.

The tuck design at the waist gives it a classy feel like trousers. It gives more room around the hips than a no-tuck design, and not only looks good but is also comfortable to wear.

2.Gentle materials
Adopts "pile lining" that can be used all year round rather than fleece lining
Sweatshirt fabric with a brushed backing feels soft and fluffy when new, but it has some drawbacks, such as "it gets stiff after repeated washing...", "it's warm in autumn and winter, but too hot to wear in spring...", and "it doesn't absorb sweat well...". GSC sweatshirts use a pile backing that is less prone to deterioration from washing, is easy to wear all year round, and is highly absorbent .

The secret to enjoying the fluffy texture of aged cotton to the very core
What we aimed for was a fabric with just the right amount of weight and plumpness. We believe that for sweatshirt fabric to look good on adults, it is important to have a firm, resilient texture. We want to avoid sweatshirts that are flimsy or that will wear out easily after washing. On the other hand, if the fabric is simply too heavy, it will be too stiff and uncomfortable to wear.

GSC's sweatshirts are made from cotton that has been aged to give it a bouncy texture . During the dyeing and finishing process, the material is steamed with plenty of steam in a high-temperature steamer that can reach up to 200°C, maximizing the fluffiness of the material .
Furthermore, the final finishing process brings out the fluffy texture of the raw materials while reducing deterioration . The special process protects the cuticle (protective film) of the fibers, leaving the cuticle and oil contained in the fibers intact for a smooth feel. It is neither too dry nor sticky. It has an exquisitely balanced feel.
A commitment to "flying" that will impress even the most enthusiastic vintage fans
It's a bit nerdy, but even if you say it's a reverse pile fabric, the appearance changes depending on the knitting structure, the materials used, and the density. One of the easiest to understand is the "jump." This is simply a term that indicates the distance of the loops made by the reverse yarn. For example, the common fleece used is called "2 jump," which means that the front stitches are knitted twice before the reverse yarn is knitted.
↑2-step pile fabric on the back
GSC's sweatshirt fabric has a wide loop width, "triple jump". This is said to be a common structure in vintage Champion sweatshirt fabrics. If you are looking for a sweatshirt fabric that you can enjoy changing in texture over time, we think that "triple jump" sweatshirt fabric is one of the reasons to choose it. We hope you will enjoy the changes over time as you wear it.

3.Gentle made
From spinning to sewing, everything is outsourced to a Japanese factory favored by a certain brand that leads the fashion industry. One of GSC's features is not only the quality of the fabric, but also the specifications that combine good appearance and high practicality, which were arrived at after numerous meetings with designers, pattern makers, and production managers and repeated sample production .
The beautiful "back-turning design" makes it possible to see the back side when worn.
The 01 ZIP HOODIE and 03 HALF ZIP can be worn open at the front, and feature a facing on the back of the zipper that hides the underside of the fabric, giving them a sophisticated and elegant look.

"Seamline" for subtle differentiation
When viewed from the front, the transition lines between the sleeves and the body are shifted backwards so that they are not visible. In addition, the transition lines of the parts are adjusted so that they connect from the sleeves to the body. Although it is simple, if you look closely, you will see that it has a unique gimmick that makes it a playful sweatshirt item.

"Partial use of jersey fabric" to eliminate the feeling of pressure when worn
To reduce the feeling of pressure when wearing the elastic waist sweatpants, the back of the belt and the lining of the pockets have been changed to a thin jersey fabric.

The back loop is perfect for both accenting and hanging to dry.
All GSC items have a back loop that not only adds an accent to your outfit, but is also useful for hanging clothes on a clothesline or hook.
