The 22 Best Crewneck Sweatshirts for Men

Outerknown’s Sur Sweatshirt sticks out for good reason. The hemp and organic blend terry fabric make it a hefty-yet-soft option, not to mention one of the most eco-friendly on the market.

Buck Mason's dense, midweight fleece sweatshirt eschews modern flair in favor of a more timeless look. It's tailored, the right tone and the cotton was cut on the cross-grain to prevent shrinkage. (Plus, it looks pretty damn good with the sleeves rolled up.)

L.L. Bean doesn't just make Boat and Totes. But you knew that. (Right?) The brand's classic crewneck sweatshirt isn't anything to scoff at. It's a comfortable, 91-percent cotton, 9-percent polyester option that clocks in under $50.

You can't go wrong with Gildan. The basics brand makes sweatshirts in several different weights — this one is dubbed the Heavy Blend — and 26 different colors.

Reigning Champ’s Midweight Terry Sweatshirt is what the company was built upon. It’s made in Canada — where some of the best sweats are made — and designed with quality details like inset-raglan sleeves and flatlock stitching for seams that are flush against the skin.

This eco-conscious sweatshirt comes by way of California clothing company Richer Poorer. Constructed from a near-even mix of cotton and recycled polyester, this option prevents roughly 40 water bottles from reaching landfills. Righteousness aside, it's a solid sweatshirt with an added incentive.

This Everlane crewneck sweatshirt is a new addition to the brand's collection. It's trimmer than the classic French terry one, but it's equally as durable. Plus, it's made from GOTS-certified cotton, which means the cotton is organic and every step of the process is approved by the Global Organic Textile Standard.

Heavyweight ribbing at the neck, cuff, hem and side panels prevent Taylor Stitch's The Fillmore Crewneck from losing its shape over time. That makes this a sweatshirt you should own forever.

Garment dyeing gives Alex Mill's crewneck sweatshirt a worn-in look, which makes it the perfect pair for washed jeans or faded chinos. It's still sturdy though, considering it's cut from 100-percent cotton.

Sunspel's lightweight Loopback Sweatshirt is luxe. It fits well in the sleeves and the torso while breaking in nicely with routine wear. It stands up to the wash, too.

Basic, at least according to the Internet, is not a complimentary adjective. But there's no better way to describe American Giant's classic crewneck. It comes in one signature color, black, but a few limited edition iterations, too. It fits well, is 99 percent cotton and is handmade in LA.

Available in over two dozen colors, Pangaia's 365 Sweatshirt is a piece I could wear every single day — hence the name. There's a small text logo printed onto the chest that reads: "This sweatshirt is colored with an environmentally friendly dye, created using a recycled water system. The fabric is made from organic cotton."

Todd Snyder typically makes its sweatshirts with Champion — who's a fitting partner, of course — but this one is new from the designer's Issued By line. Essentially, they're recreating vintage pieces from Snyder's personal archive. This remake is made in Canada using pigment-dyed 20 oz French Terry cotton.

Everlane’s crewneck sweatshirt is unsurprisingly part of its Uniform collection, a range of garments requisite for your daily ‘fits. It’s made from 100-percent cotton French terry fabric and is as comfy as it is affordable.

An icon. What more is there to say about Champion's category-defining crewneck? Sure, other brands have surpassed them stylistically, but the venerable Reverse Weave still does its job: It fits nicely and will never shrink.

This one is a modern-day classic. Todd Snyder’s Pocket Sweatshirt is one of the best designs to come out of his ongoing partnership with Champion. It’s substantial, it’s super cozy and it can hold your wallet.

Colorful Standard does the bare minimum but better, if that makes sense. Its Classic Organic Crew is easy, fits well and wears in nicely. Plus, the cotton it's made from is 100 percent organic and dyed using environmentally-friendly formulas.

J.Crew's super popular sweatshirt is a cut above other big brands. The cotton French terry fabric has a beautiful heathered appearance and is satisfyingly soft to the touch. The bound ribbed collar and v-insert give it that timeless vintage appeal.

These take after vintage sweatshirts of the midcentury, featuring a year-round fleece, a classic V insert and a mounted collar. They come in a handful of colors as well as with graphics.

Better basics at a solid price Uniqlo's thing. So it's no surprise that its Long-Sleeve Sweatshirt made it to our list. It's inspired by vintage designs and features a sturdy but soft all-cotton fabric.
