The world of sweatshirts is a cozy one. By now we’re all too familiar with the comfort sweaters can bring — regardless of the season or temperature, chances are a sweater is bound to come in handy.
Like most modern fashion attire, the crewneck sweater can be traced back to sports and was invented during the 1920s by Benjamin Russell Jr., a then college football player and heir to the company we know today as Russell Athletic. The cotton sweater was preferred over itchy wool garments and quickly became a staple in contemporary fashion.
