THOM KROM M S 191 Sweatshirt - Dark Used Grey Four-Fabric Cotton Polyester Elastane Worked Knit Men's German

Four Fabrics. One Pullover. A Finish That Tells Its Own Story.

The THOM KROM M S 191 in dark used grey carries the same four-fabric worked knit construction as the black version — Shell 1 in 88% cotton, 12% polyester; Shell 2 in 97% cotton, 3% elastane; rib in 95% cotton, 5% elastane; piping in 100% cotton — with a used-finish treatment applied after construction that fundamentally alters the surface character of the grey. The wash process opens the cotton loop surface, fades the colour selectively, and creates a tonal variation that no flat dyeing can replicate. Four fabrics, each placed for function. One finish that makes the piece unrepeatable. German design. Turkish manufacture.

Why This Sweatshirt Is Different

• Shell 1 — 88% Cotton, 12% Polyester: The primary body panels in a cotton-polyester worked knit — dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, and shape retention that holds the sweatshirt's silhouette across the life of the garment; the polyester content responds to the used finish differently from pure cotton, contributing to the surface complexity of the grey
• Shell 2 — 97% Cotton, 3% Elastane: High-movement panels in cotton-elastane — targeted stretch recovery at the zones where the body demands give, without altering the visual character of the cotton-dominant blend
• Rib — 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane: Highest elastane concentration in the construction — because the rib at cuffs, hem, and collar faces repeated stretching over the garment's entire life and must recover fully each time; 5% elastane maintains this recovery indefinitely
• Piping — 100% Cotton: Pure cotton at the seam and detail lines — natural feel at the visible finishing detail; the pure cotton piping also catches the used finish most visibly, creating a subtle tonal accent at the seam lines
• Dark used grey finish: Applied after construction — the wash process acts on the four fabrics simultaneously, each responding slightly differently due to their different compositions, creating a tonal depth and variation that is unrepeatable between individual garments
• Each piece is unique: The used finish cannot be replicated identically — the distribution of fading, the interaction between the polyester shell, the elastane panels, and the cotton piping produces a surface character specific to each garment
• German design: THOM KROM construction precision combined with a finish that introduces controlled variation — two typically opposing values resolved in a single piece
• Unlike the M S 191 black which presents the four-fabric construction in its clearest form, the dark used grey adds a fifth dimension: a surface finish that interacts with each of the four fabrics and produces a different result at every zone

The Moment You Put It On

The used finish has pre-softened the cotton fibre surface across all four fabric zones — the cotton-polyester shell, the elastane panels, the rib, and the piping each arrive with a broken-in hand-feel that unwashed cotton cannot offer on first wear. The grey is not uniform: the polyester shell fades differently from the pure cotton piping, the elastane panels sit at a slightly different tone from the primary shell, the rib holds its depth where the elastane resists the wash process. The result is a sweatshirt with visible material intelligence on its surface.

This is the sweatshirt for the wardrobe that values process as much as product.

The Art of Used Finishing Across Four Fabrics

The used or garment-wash finish on the M S 191 dark used grey interacts with four distinct fabric compositions simultaneously — which is why the result is more complex than a used finish on a single-fabric garment. The 88/12 cotton-polyester Shell 1 fades at a different rate from the 97/3 cotton-elastane Shell 2, because polyester resists the wash chemistry more than cotton-dominant blends; the primary shell retains more depth than the movement panels. The 100% cotton piping fades most readily, because pure cotton has no synthetic content to resist the process — the seam lines can read as a subtle tonal accent against the shell panels. The 95/5 cotton-elastane rib sits between the piping and the shell in its wash response, producing a rib that reads as its own tonal register. The result is a used grey that has the depth of a piece constructed from multiple materials, each processed by the same wash chemistry and each responding in its own way. No two M S 191 dark used grey pieces are identical. This is the premium differentiator of the finish-applied construction approach.

How to Wear It

• With the M ST 537 dark used grey trousers: Two pieces from the same used-finish family — a complete THOM KROM used grey look, the sweatshirt's four-fabric tonal complexity above, the trouser's dual-shell character below
• With the M SJ 706 grey stone wash spray jacket: Two different grey finishing treatments in conversation — the used grey sweatshirt beneath the stone wash spray outer jacket, a considered tonal layering of surface processes
• Against clean black THOM KROM pieces: The dark used grey reads as a sophisticated counterpoint to clean black — the two sharing a dark register, the used finish adding visual interest against the black's clarity
• Under the M SJ 705 lined jacket: The cotton-polyester Shell 1 matches the M SJ 705 jacket shell composition exactly — a technically unified layering decision even across different colorways

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, gentle cycle — inside out to preserve the used finish; further washing will continue the natural development of the grey rather than damage it, but cold water and gentle cycle prevent uncontrolled additional fading
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to maintain knit structure and prevent shoulder stretching; flat drying also protects the piping from deforming under heat
• Do not bleach — bleach will destroy the used finish and produce uneven, uncontrolled fading across the four fabric zones
• Low steam iron if needed — press from inside with a cloth barrier; avoid direct heat on the elastane-blend panels and piping
• Do not dry clean
• Store folded to prevent knit and rib from stretching at the shoulders over time
