The ESCAPE sweat has a distressed cut sleeve that is put through a vintage wash to give it a beautiful, black patina and authentic fade.
It features our military-inspired collection logo, hand-printed font and our signature '&' label on one sleeve. Worn on its own or over one of our ELDER Henley shirts the Escape sweat delivers a Classic style and timeless look.

The farming process of organic cotton uses less water, energy and pesticides than conventional cotton. We’ve sourced our organic cotton to ensure the processing of the fabric and the garment within the whole supply chain has used no harmful chemicals and has been made to high ethical and environmental standards throughout. Even the care labels inside are made from recycled polyester… we thought of everything.
I’m a bit obsessed with &sons gear now! Everything is so well made.

An iconic garment from an equally iconic film
Origins
I always admired the effortless style of Virgil Hilts (Steve McQueen) in the Great Escape film. The combination of the worn-in tan chinos and Washed out blue sweat with cut sleeves is such an iconic style for this era. I wanted to emulate this style with our own interpretation of the sweatshirt. We started trialling processes and vintage wash techniques to achieve that ‘ worn-in’ patina on a faded blue cotton. We cut the sleeves at the elbow before any of the treatments started so the raw edges fluffed up nicely and helped make it feel more vintage and homemade. We finished with a bespoke military logo that has been hand screen printed before washing so the paint became more authentically distressed.
Style Tip: This is the perfect top for everyday wear. Wear as a single layer or for colder evenings and months you can style it with a Elder Henley shirt as a base layer. Wear it loose as it was intended with a pair of Virgil chino shorts or trousers.
