The Samurai SWS-TW02 challenges the definition of a sweatshirt. Unlike traditional hoodies that use a soft, fluffy fleece interior, this piece is crafted from Samurai’s proprietary "10/2" Extra Heavyweight Jersey, a 15.7oz fabric that offers the density and durability of raw denim with the comfort of a knit.
The Fabric: 15.7oz "10/2" Slub Jersey The secret to this hoodie's unique "dry" hand feel lies in the yarn. Samurai uses Open-End (Air Spun) No. 10 Yarn, a thick, irregular thread usually reserved for heavy canvas or denim.
  • The Construction: Two strands of this No. 10 yarn are twisted together to create a massive equivalent No. 5 yarn.
  • The Texture: Because the yarn is spun using air rather than tension, it traps pockets of air between the fibers. This creates a fabric that is crisp, dry, and incredibly slubby (textured).
  • The Advantage: Since there is no "fleece" pile on the interior, this hoodie is surprisingly breathable. It provides armor-like protection against wind without causing you to overheat, making it the perfect 3-season layer.
Authentic Details
  • YKK Double Zip: Features a heavy-duty double metal zipper for versatile styling.
  • Double Waist Pockets: Deep, functional pockets integrated into the side seams.
  • Ribbed Construction: Heavy-duty ribbed cuffs and hem that won't lose their tension over time.

  • Size & Fit Guide: Samurai SWS-TW02 Heavyweight Hoodie

    The Fit Profile: "Vintage Boxy & Short" This hoodie does not fit like a modern American sweatshirt. It is cut with a "Vintage Sportswear" silhouette, meaning it is wide in the chest but short in the body length.

    • The Chest: Relaxed and roomy.

    • The Length: Cropped (sits at the waistband).

    • The Arms: Slim and fitted.

    Sizing Advice

    • For a Standard Fit: We recommend sizing up one size from your usual American size. (e.g., If you usually wear a US Medium, buy a Size Large).

    • For Tall Wearers (Over 6'0" / 183cm): Pay close attention to the Back Length. You may need to size up two sizes to ensure the hoodie covers your belt, even if the chest is loose.

    All the figures in our size charts are based on products after washing and drying under the sun.
