GU’s signature gets a bold reboot with new fabric and silhouette

First introduced in 2018, GU’s Heavyweight Sweat Collection has been a street-style bestseller, crafted with attention to detail. This fall marks its first major update.
The full-zip hoodie features a simple, cropped boxy fit inspired by classic vintage pieces, made from custom-ordered yarn for fabric that’s thick yet light. One you’ll be reaching for fall and winter!
1. Hood

Hood

Sculpted shape, no distractions

The double-layered oversized hood flatters your face for a smaller-looking effect. With no edge seams, it stays simple while keeping its three-dimensional shape. Removing the drawstrings gives the neckline a fresh, clean look.

2. Silhouette

Silhouette

Cropped and roomy for east styling

With wider pants in the mix, it’s time to switch up the long, lean look. This update ditches the ribbed hem and shortens the length for a fresh, boxier fit. Works perfectly with barrel-leg or carrot pants, too.

3. Fabric

Fabric

Thick on the outside, brushed and light on the inside

The thick 13.4 oz original fabric now uses newly developed hollow-core yarns for a dramatically lighter feel than previous models. With a brushed lining for plenty of warmth, it works perfectly as outerwear in cooler months.

4. Pocket

Pocket

A wider pocket for a better fit

Even the pockets got a makeover. To match the relaxed, cropped silhouette, they have been widened and lowered for a cleaner, more balanced look.
