When you first touch this sweater, you’ll know that it’s different than all of the others. The content is 100% cotton and has a rugged, dry feel. Don’t be alarmed - a dry feel is a good thing. The stitch is a variation on a waffle stitch...a mini waffle stitch, if you will. The elbow patches are reverse jersey, it has a raglan construction on the sleeves and contrast detail in the 1/4 zip neckline to set it even further apart from the other sweaters in your closet. Imported.
