BESPOKE CLOTHING
JERZEES SCHOOLGEAR
Iconic sweatshirt style refined
The iconic 762 sweatshirt has been the no.1
choice for thousands of schools across the UK for
the last 10 years and is a great example of "if it
ain't broke don't fix it".
But as with all things there is always room for
improvement and the design and development
and quality teams at Russell Europe looked closely
at how to add to the quality of the style ensuring
that it retains all the characteristics and features
that have made the 762 the success it has been
over many years.
As a result of this the refined style has extra
strengthened seams on the raglan shoulder and
cuff and the addition of herringbone back neck
tape, both providing enhanced durability and
comfort.
And with these added refinements, that will be
rolled out throughout 2009, Russell Europe has
every confidence that the 762 family will continue
to satisfy the demands of decorators, schools and
parents alike for years to come.
