Sweatshirts from the brand Jack & Jones

Jack & Jones, Danish denim to everyday sweatshirts

Jack & Jones was founded in 1990 in Brande, in the heart of Denmark, as part of the Bestseller group. The brand first gained recognition for its jeans, with an initial collection presented that year during Oslo Fashion Week, followed by the opening of a first store in Trondheim, Norway. It then built a complete menswear wardrobe and established itself among the leading names in European menswear. Its sweatshirts follow this approach: well-cut basics, discreet or graphic logos, and easy-to-wear colours. Here, the sweatshirt is not sportswear but an urban piece, chosen for its fit as much as for its fabric.

Slim, regular or relaxed fit: read the Jack & Jones labels

Most of the brand's sweatshirts specify their fit, and this detail makes all the difference. The slim fit follows the line of the body and arms: it flatters slim silhouettes but can quickly become tight on broad shoulders. The regular fit is straight, allowing ease without creating bulk. The relaxed or oversized fits, which are roomier and with dropped shoulders, give a casual look. For a second row player or a prop, the brand's plus-size range widens the chest and lengthens the sleeves, something a simple larger size in a slim fit does not achieve.

Brushed fleece or loopback: the fabric of Jack & Jones sweatshirts

Two fabrics are used for most of the brand's sweatshirts. The brushed fleece, brushed on the inside, offers a soft touch and good warmth for winter. The loopback fabric, known as french terry, has small loops on the inside: more breathable, it is suitable for mid-season. Cotton is often blended with polyester, which helps limit shrinking and keeps the sweatshirt’s shape. For care, turn the garment inside out, wash at 30 degrees with similar colours, and lay flat to dry: the brushed fleece pills much less if it never goes in the tumble dryer.

Frequently asked questions

Does Jack & Jones have a connection to rugby?

No sports history: it's a menswear brand. It finds its place on a rugby site for its fits suitable for broad builds and basics that players willingly wear off the pitch.

Is a Jack & Jones sweatshirt suitable for playing rugby?

No, these are urban sweatshirts, without technical fabric or reinforcements: they retain moisture and degrade upon contact. They are made for before or after the match, sitting in the stands, and outings with teammates.

What's the difference between a sweatshirt and a hoodie?

Hoodie is the English name for a hooded sweatshirt, while sweatshirt more broadly refers to any top in fleece, with or without a hood. The hoodie is distinguished by its hood, often lined, and its large kangaroo pocket on the front.

Is a Jack & Jones sweatshirt a good gift?

It's a safe bet for a man: a basic that can be worn all winter. To be sure, take the size of a sweatshirt he already wears and check the fit specified on the product page before ordering.

Why do sweatshirts stretch at the wrists?

The ribbed hems at the wrists and waist loosen when sleeves are frequently pushed up or when pulling on the sweatshirt to take it off. Washing at a low temperature and laying flat to dry helps them maintain their elasticity.
