Buy NowA. G. Spalding have a long and illustrious history in the sweatshirt industry, paving the way for American athletic wear. Now produced in Japan, they develop garments that fit the modern day taking into account all design and manufacturing details from their archive collection. The Side Line Parka is one of A.
G. Spalding's signature garments, inspired by those used in early athletic wear that helped pave the way for sweatshirt manufacturing for years to come. These were initially made for athletic wear/sportswear and is named the 'Side-Line' Parka for those reserves/substitutes wearing them on the sideline to maintain warmth.
Cut in Japan from a luxurious 100% loopwheel cotton, the Side-Line Parka is available in two colour-ways and features two patch pockets or 'glove' pockets, a lock stitch hood & cross neck construction. The side Line Parka is complete with original 'Made in Japan' A. G. Spalding sportswear label.
* The fabric has been woven on vintage hanging knitting machines in Wakayama that weave at a sluggish pace providing a small amount of fabric a day. These were standard sweatshirt production machines until the 1960's when production methods moved elsewhere. There are about 400 of these machines remaining in Japan (with only 200 in production) and they produce roughly a metre of fabric an hour - they require skilled craftsman to operate these machines in order to produce vintage like fabrics.
