Prequel Sweatshirt Wear Changes

Cream sweatshirt fabric with PREQUEL tags.

Feel the passage of time by wearing a PURIQUEL sweatshirt.

The recently arrived Prequel sweatshirt. This item has an appeal that allows you to take your time and enjoy the changes over time. This time, we compared a sample produced more than half a year ago, worn for several months, with its new condition.

Two cream sweatshirts compared side by side.

Left: new, right: after several months of wear

This sweatshirt is made of raw cotton fabric (unbleached cotton in its natural state). When new, the sweatshirt had a natural green color, but after repeated wear and washing, fine impurities and oils have been removed and the fabric appears a little lighter.

The color change is obvious when you compare the two.

Close-up comparison of cream sweatshirt fabric textures.

The sample in particular has been washed many times in a laundromat with a pre-made detergent when it was worn at an overseas exhibition, so you can see that it has a slightly bleached whiteness.

Changes in the back side of the sweatshirt

The looped pile of the back side of the sweatshirt has gradually worn down and flattened out a little after repeated washing and wearing. This is one of the characteristics of the fabric that has been changing over time, just like old clothes.

The atmosphere of a sample fabric that has been worn for several months
After repeated washing and drying, the fabric has changed over time to a more solid fabric while maintaining the same unevenness.

Atmosphere of new fabric
After sewing, the fabric is carefully finished by one-washing and drying, so it has a soft atmosphere.

The unique way to enjoy items made of natural fabrics is the unique change over time that occurs when worn. Please enjoy the atmosphere of soft and comfortable sweatshirts from the 1950s and 1960s.

■The degree of color and texture change may vary depending on the washing method and detergent used.
