Men's Sweatshirt – A Guide

Short answer: A good men's sweatshirt is the workhorse of the wardrobe: it works over a T-shirt, under a jacket and as a statement on its own. In bamboo viscose you get a sweatshirt that is softer, more breathable and more odour resistant than the classic cotton version.

What should a men's sweatshirt be able to do?

It should keep its shape, feel comfortable for many hours and go with the rest of your wardrobe. Look for a classic crew neck style in a neutral colour – see the selection of bamboo sweatshirts for men.

Bamboo vs. classic sweat fabric

Ordinary sweat fabric can feel heavy and turn clammy when you are active. Bamboo viscose carries moisture away and regulates temperature, so the sweatshirt works from the morning chill to the afternoon sun. Read more about bamboo and temperature regulation.

Three ways to style it

Casual: over a bamboo T-shirt for men with jeans. Relaxed: with matching bamboo sweatpants. If you prefer a hood, take a look at bamboo hoodies for men – and find it all under bamboo clothing for men.

Frequently asked questions

What size should I choose in a sweatshirt?

Choose your usual size for a classic fit. If you want a more relaxed look, you can go a single size up.

Is a bamboo sweatshirt good in winter?

Yes, as a mid layer under a jacket it insulates well, and the breathability of the fabric stops you feeling clammy indoors.

How do I stop my sweatshirt from pilling?

Wash it inside out at 30 degrees together with similar fabrics, and skip the tumble dryer.
