Samurai 10/2 Extra Heavy L/S Hoodie | off-white
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.

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.
