RESSAC focuses on everything that makes a sweatshirt seductive: perfect proportions (not too wide nor too tight), a comfortable length, raglan sleeves for a sporty look and Maison Fauve's signature details: the little decorative darts on the front neckline, the cut-outs highlighted by ribbing at the sides that structure to the silhouette and a large patch pocket that blends into the design of the piece.
