In the 1960s, this type of sweatpants was used as a physical training uniform at U.S. military academies, particularly at the United States Military Academy West Point (USMA).
Crafted from 580 GSM cotton fleece with a reverse weave construction, this version is heavier than the original. We’ve faithfully restored the original features, ribbed inserts under the rise increases elasticity and breathability, allowing for greater movement and reducing the risk of tearing. The ribbed cuffs and hem are intentionally made in a slightly different color from the body fabric. In addition to the above details, a side seam pocket was added, which was not a design in the original version.
