MILITARY SWEATPANTS / USAFA
The Real McCoy's MC23103
About
The MILITARY SWEATPANTS / USAFA have been made from a 10oz loopwheel cotton fabric and finished with an elasticated waist band, which can adjusted with a concealed drawstring. For ease of movement, this sweatpant has also been constructed with a gusset, a feature seen in the early athletic wear
The 10 oz. Loopwheel Cotton is knitted in Wakayama, Japan, using extremely rare machines, known in Japan as Tsuriami-ki and even rarer skill and technique, exclusively for The Real McCoy’s.
The MILITARY SWEATPANTS / USAFA were used by the US Army Air Force in the 1960s during athletics training. Along with the iconic 1/4 zip sweatshirt, countless manufacturers would produce these for the military with reverse weave construction proving to be a favourite.
The reverse weave technique was first used in 1938 and requires a heavy-weight cotton cut along the cross-grain as opposed to vertical stitching. This revolutionary technique eliminates shrinkage and helps maintain the shape of athletic wear for longer.
