The cotton shell breathes, softens with wear, and drapes with the weight of a premium knit. The elastane rib recovers — every time, indefinitely — holding its tension and shape without the stretch-out that 100% cotton ribbing develops over time. Two fabrics, each in its correct place. German design.

The rib at the cuffs holds. Not too tight, not relaxed to the point of losing contact with the wrist. The hem sits where it's supposed to. These are small things that matter constantly — every time you move, sit, reach, or tuck in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sweatshirt that doesn't ask anything of you except to wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Art of Dual-Fabric Knit Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost sweatshirts are constructed from a single fabric throughout: the same cotton or cotton-polyester knit used for the body, the cuffs, and the hem. THOM KROM uses two distinct fabrics in the M S 197 because a single fabric cannot optimise for both properties simultaneously. A 100% cotton rib will lose its tension after 30–40 washes as the cotton fibres lose their elasticity — cuffs roll, hems drop, and the neck widens. A rib with 5% elastane retains its recovery indefinitely, because the elastane content is below the threshold that affects breathability or feel, but above the threshold that maintains structural memory. THOM KROM places the elastane precisely where it is needed and nowhere else. The body of the M S 197 remains 100% cotton — pure, breathable, improving with age. The ribs retain their tension. It is a construction decision that costs more to execute and produces a garment that performs correctly for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a standalone layer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The worked knit body and clean rib construction read as a finished piece — not an underlayer — suitable for any context that accepts a sweatshirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder the M SJ 706 sweat jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a mid-layer under the worked knit jacket — consistent cotton construction throughout, the rib detail visible at the cuff below the jacket sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder the M J 94 woven jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e The polyamide-viscose lining slides over the cotton knit surface cleanly; the M S 197 adds warmth without bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith the M P 52 cotton trouser:\u003c\/strong\u003e A complete cotton construction — worked knit sweatshirt and woven cotton trouser in the same material register\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash cold, gentle cycle — inside out to protect knit surface texture and colour depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to maintain knit structure and prevent shoulder stretching under gravity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not bleach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow steam iron if needed — press from inside with a cloth barrier over the knit surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not dry clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore folded to prevent the knit from stretching at the shoulders over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe M S 197 is THOM KROM in its most considered daily form.
