I’m of the mind that once you start upgrading one area of your menswear rotation, the rest will follow: So, taking an interest in finding a better pair of leather boots or a better pair of indigo denim will lead to upgrades both big and small as you curate a collection of the best winter style essentials. That’s where USA-made menswear from Gustin comes into play.

Across the past decade-plus, the company has truly gone the extra mile in making utterly classic, rugged and stylish American-made menswear, and that goes for upgrades big and small, as luck would have it — right on down to one of the best crewneck sweatshirts for men.

A casually stylish, sporty staple with tons of heritage, the crewneck sweatshirt is all grown up, in a manner of speaking, as you survey the Gustin Vintage Heavyweight Sweatshirt.

As ready to pair with the company’s durable, handsome selvedge denim as it is with stretch chinos and moc toe leather boots, this American-made sweatshirt gets its cues from — you guessed it — vintage-style crewneck sweatshirts, this time delivered in highly durable, heavyweight 14oz. cotton aided by made-in-Canada construction.

The right mix of weight and supple fabric, as the company notes, should break in expertly and grow softer with each wear — just like they used to make the best sweatshirts and sweaters for men in days gone by, I’d wager.

This edition of the dependable and ultra-warm Gustin Vintage Heavyweight Sweatshirt features old-school, wider cuffs and a wider collar, like they used to make ’em back in the day, and it comes in a crisp and versatile shade of Natural that can be paired up with just about anything in your wardrobe.

A leather interior patch solidifies the company’s commitment to rugged quality and craftsmanship — I’d wager this is one stylish sweatshirt for men that’ll last — and last, and last. Try out Gustin menswear and let me know how the brand’s wares suit you.
