Not really an answer to your question, but I was on the lookout for a grey classic champion reverse weave a couple of months ago, both on ebay and here in sweden and I could´t find any! Would have guessed they were everywhere, but alas..

[seenmy]

yea i mean see a fair few in vintages stores here not grey mind but they are all shit to worn out of shape etc

I have quite a few old Champion reverse weaves. They rule.

There's a local outlet with a whole rack of champion reverse-weave sweats, deadstock. A few smalls last time I was in, the rest m/l/xl on up. Grey and navy, if I recall correctly.

[seenmy]

you fancy picking them up and selling to me,im guessing il take a large in each colour you can get

[superBobo]

Im interested aswell! if its the kind with just a little "C" on the chest..

[headtowall]

Seenmy, you might want to consider an XL, as the old ones run pretty small. I wear mediums in most t-shirts, and large Champion reverse weaves are fairly fitted on me.

are these vintage deadstock ones or just new ones, 'cause they still make reverse weave sweats and there are places online where you can order new blanks w/the 'c' on the chest and sleeve.

[american_hearts]

oh, good call. they're most likely new blanks, as they fit fairly large. sorry to get hopes up.

[rhythmandsound]

okay yeah the newer ones definitely fit on the large-ish side

True. I had a new one in medium and it was a lot bigger than my old large ones.

Champion in Japan have done a 'heritage' range of the old reverse weave cuts made in China (I think current US retail blanks are all made in Mexico and cut huge), with proper metalwork and longer cuffs and hems.

Super Rag have them http://www.rakuten.co.jp/super-rag/509724/509965/ and ship

There is also a premium "Made in USA" range that is double the price and available from the Champion Rakuten store

[cheapmuthafukr]
