THOM KROM M SJ 701 Sweat Jacket - Black Dual-Shell Cotton Elastane Worked Knit Men's German

The Dual-Shell Construction, From the Start.

The THOM KROM M SJ 701 is the entry point of the dual-shell sweat jacket range — the same construction principle as the M SJ 703 and M SJ 707, applied in a lighter, more versatile silhouette. Shell 1 is 100% cotton for the body panels that define the garment's structure and drape. Shell 2 is 97% cotton, 3% elastane for the panels where movement requires give. The rib at cuffs, hem, and collar is 100% cotton throughout. One construction logic, expressed across three models. German design. Turkish manufacture.

Why This Jacket Is Different

• Dual-shell construction: Two distinct shell fabrics placed panel by panel — pure cotton where structure matters, cotton-elastane where movement demands it
• 100% Cotton Shell 1: Natural breathability, drape, and hand-feel in the body panels that carry the jacket's silhouette
• 97% Cotton, 3% Elastane Shell 2: Targeted stretch in the high-movement panels — functional give without compromising the visual character of the cotton-dominant construction
• 100% Cotton rib: Pure cotton at cuffs, hem, and collar — natural feel at every contact point, no synthetic texture at the wrist or neck
• Worked / gewirkt construction: Loop-built fabric throughout — inherent knit stretch amplified by the elastane panels where additional give is placed
• German design: THOM KROM panel-by-panel construction intelligence at the accessible entry of the sweat jacket range
• No logos: The dual-shell panel geometry and knit texture carry the identity
• Unlike the M SJ 706 single-fabric jacket which offers simplicity and a clean hand, the M SJ 701 introduces the dual-shell logic at a lighter weight — greater versatility across seasons and temperatures

The Moment You Put It On

The cotton panels sit with a natural lightness — this is the dual-shell construction at its most versatile weight. The body drapes cleanly from the shoulder, the cotton breathes through the loop structure of the knit. Raise your arms, reach forward — the elastane panels give where the pure cotton would resist. The rib holds at the wrist without tension. This is the jacket you reach for on the days between seasons, when something structured but not heavy is exactly right.

The M SJ 701 is where the THOM KROM dual-shell logic begins.

The Art of Dual-Shell Panel Construction

The dual-shell approach in the THOM KROM sweat jacket range treats the jacket as a panel-by-panel engineering problem rather than a single-fabric decision. Shell 1 — 100% cotton worked knit — provides the garment's structural character: the drape, the surface texture, the breathability. Shell 2 — 97% cotton, 3% elastane — provides functional stretch recovery in the panels where a full range of body movement is required. At 3% elastane content, the blend retains the visual character and breathability of cotton while adding the loop extension and recovery that pure cotton cannot provide under sustained movement. The 100% cotton rib at cuffs, hem, and collar closes the garment at every edge with consistent natural feel. In the M SJ 701, this construction logic is expressed at a lighter knit weight than the M SJ 703 and M SJ 707 — a more versatile piece suited to a broader range of seasonal conditions and layering configurations.

How to Wear It

• As a standalone outer layer: The dual-shell construction handles full range of motion at a lighter weight — the jacket for spring, early autumn, and mild days when the M SJ 707 is too much
• Over a THOM KROM base layer or t-shirt: The lighter knit weight pairs cleanly with minimal underlayers — a complete look without thermal excess
• Under the M J 94 woven jacket: As a breathable, stretch-accommodating mid-layer — the dual-shell gives under the woven outer jacket without pulling or distorting it
• With the M P 52 cotton trouser: A cotton-dominant construction throughout; the M SJ 701 as the outer layer in a material-consistent, season-appropriate look

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, gentle cycle — inside out to protect knit surface texture and colour depth
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to maintain knit structure and prevent shoulder stretching under gravity
• Do not bleach
• Low steam iron if needed — press from inside with a cloth barrier; avoid direct heat on the elastane-blend panels
• Do not dry clean
• Store folded to prevent knit from stretching at shoulder seams over time
