Description
Ressac captures all the best features of a stylish sweatshirt: a perfectly balanced fit—neither too loose nor too tight—along with a comfortable length and sporty raglan sleeves. Maison Fauve’s signature touches elevate the design, including delicate decorative darts at the front neckline, structured side panels accentuated with ribbing, and a seamlessly integrated patch pocket that enhances the overall look.
Recommended Fabric
Sweatshirt fabrics like jersey, French terry, or sweater knits, paired with ribbing. The Ressac sweatshirt combines both, though the side yoke and under-sleeve can also be made from sweatshirt fabric. For the best fit, keep the collar, bottom band, and cuffs in ribbing, or adjust the pattern to match your fabric’s stretch.
