The sweatshirt has been a staple of American sportswear since it was introduced in the early 20th century. When we decided to make our own, the challenge was to do more than just mimic the originals. From materials to trim, we poured over the details that take these sweats from utilitarian to best-in-class.

Armed with a treasure trove of vintage cotton sweatshirts we acquired over the years, we searched for a reverse-weave cotton to stand the test of time. Made from a sturdy blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester with a soft brushed back, our Trackhouse Sweats get softer and more comfortable with every wash.

Nothing is worse than a sweatshirt that bags out after a few wears. Our ribbed details help the fabric keep its shape and ensure a more refined fit.

The small things make all the difference. From a hidden pocket in our kangaroo pouch to classic elasticated hems on the joggers to a V-stitch finishing on the crew, these finer details elevate the collection beyond the everyday.

Looking for ways to stay motivated and connected to our sport? We’ve started the Culture Club - a selection of running-related books, movies and podcasts to help pass the time, which we’re sharing throughout the week on Instagram stories. Have suggestions? Email them to support@tracksmith.com.

In these uncertain times, we’re heartened by the fact that running remains a much-needed respite from the challenges of social distancing. So it’s only with a great deal of empathy and consideration that we will move forward doing what we do best - sharing our love for running and helping others find deeper meaning in the sport we cherish.
