The PRINTED SNOW PATTERN F/Z SWEATSHIRT is made from loop-wheeled cotton fabric and features a traditional Nordic pattern print. This sweatshirt includes a full-length zip through the front and hand warmer pockets on the body. While the Nordic pattern was a traditional feature of knitted pullovers throughout the 1800s, its popularity saw a resurgence in the early 20th century as skiing became a favored pastime among Americans.

Rooted in Norwegian tradition and emerging alongside the rise of commercial skiing, the Nordic pattern gained widespread appeal, partly due to the influence of Olympian Stein Eriksen. Eriksen's personal sense of style was reflected in US ski attire throughout the '50s and '60s.

While the Nordic pattern is traditionally seen knitted in wool the PRINTED SNOW PATTERN F/Z SWEATSHIRT is an athletic cotton sweatshirt. This pattern was popular between the '50s and '60s and is a rare but highly sought-after vintage garment that enjoyed success during the Japanese casual boom throughout the '90s.
