Overview

Champion Reverse Weave is a signature line derived from the “Reverse Weave” technique devised in 1934 by Champion, a sportswear brand originating in the United States, to reduce shrinkage. Rotating the grain of the fabric 90 degrees to use it crosswise reduces vertical shrinkage, and the technique was patented in 1938. The line mainly includes heavyweight hoodies, sweatshirts, and sweatpants.
