THOM KROM M SJ 705 Sweat Jacket - Black Cotton Polyester Shell Cotton Lining Worked Knit Men's German

The Knit Jacket Built for More Than One Season

The THOM KROM M SJ 705 is a worked knit sweat jacket with a three-fabric construction: an 88% cotton, 12% polyester shell for the body panels, a 100% cotton inner lining, and a 100% cotton rib at cuffs, hem, and collar. The polyester in the shell is not filler — it is a structural decision. Cotton-polyester blended into a worked knit at this ratio produces a fabric with greater dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, and shape retention than pure cotton at the same weight, while the cotton content preserves the breathability and hand-feel that makes the M SJ 705 comfortable across all-day wear. The cotton lining adds warmth and a natural surface against the skin. The cotton rib holds. German design. Turkish manufacture.

Why This Jacket Is Different

• 88% Cotton, 12% Polyester worked knit shell: The polyester content adds shape retention and abrasion resistance to the cotton knit base — the jacket holds its structure through sustained wear where a pure cotton knit would gradually soften and deform
• 100% Cotton inner lining: Natural cotton against the skin — breathable, soft, and thermally more effective than a synthetic lining at the same weight
• 100% Cotton rib: Pure cotton at cuffs, hem, and collar — consistent material feel at every contact point, with the structure provided by the knit construction itself
• Three-fabric construction: Shell, lining, and rib are each specified independently — a construction approach that adds cost and complexity but produces a garment optimised at every layer
• Worked / gewirkt construction: Loop-built fabric with inherent stretch and a surface texture distinct from woven cotton
• German design: THOM KROM construction precision, no logos, no decorative excess
• Unlike the M SJ 706 which is a single-fabric worked knit, the M SJ 705 is a layered construction with distinct functional properties at shell, lining, and rib — a heavier, more considered piece
• Full size range: S through XXL — THOM KROM's broadest sweat jacket sizing

The Moment You Put It On

The cotton lining is immediately present — natural and warm against the skin, without the static or coolness of a synthetic. The shell has the weight of a worked knit that has structure to it: the 12% polyester blend reinforces the cotton loops, giving the fabric a body that holds its shape across the shoulders and chest. You zip it, the rib sits at the wrist. This jacket is warmer than the M SJ 706 — the cotton lining adds a thermal layer between the shell and the body. It is the sweat jacket for the colder end of the THOM KROM range.

Wear it when the day is long and the temperature isn't going up.

The Art of Cotton-Polyester Knit with Cotton Lining

The 88/12 cotton-polyester blend in the M SJ 705 shell is a precision specification. At 12% polyester, the blend adds dimensional stability — the knit loops retain their structure under repeated washing and sustained wear, rather than softening into the relaxed deformation that 100% cotton develops over time. The cotton majority (88%) preserves the breathability, natural hand-feel, and dyeability that polyester alone cannot provide. The inner lining in 100% cotton adds warmth through an additional insulating layer without introducing synthetic materials against the skin. The 100% cotton rib at cuffs, hem, and collar provides consistent tactile feel at every contact point — no synthetic touch at the wrist, no discomfort at the neck. The M SJ 705 is the THOM KROM sweat jacket constructed for longevity and seasonal range, where the M SJ 706 prioritises single-fabric simplicity and summer weight.

How to Wear It

• As outer layer in mild cold: The cotton-lined shell provides enough warmth for autumn and mild winter without requiring an additional jacket — the THOM KROM sweat jacket as a standalone outer piece
• Over the M S 197 sweatshirt: The worked knit layers comfortably — consistent cotton construction throughout, the M SJ 705 adding structured outer shape over the lighter sweatshirt
• Under the M J 94 woven jacket: On colder days, the M SJ 705 as a substantial mid-layer; the cotton lining and polyamide-viscose lining of the M J 94 interact cleanly
• With the M P 52 cotton trouser: A full cotton-dominant construction — the worked knit jacket and woven cotton trouser in the same natural material register

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; the cotton lining also benefits from flat drying
• Do not bleach
• Low steam iron if needed — press from inside with a cloth barrier over the knit surface; do not press the cotton lining directly
• Do not dry clean
• Store folded to prevent knit and lining from stretching at the shoulders over time
