{"product_id":"rothco-wwii-vintage-mechanics-sweater-khaki","title":"Rothco WWII Vintage Mechanics Sweater Khaki","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco WWII Vintage Mechanics Sweater is a long-sleeve knit pullover built from 100% cotton, styled after classic military mechanic sweaters of the World War II era. Twill elbow patches, rib-knit trim, and a button-front placket give it an authentic workwear silhouette suited to cool-weather outdoor use, casual wear, and everyday tasks. Available in sizes Small through 3XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeritage Construction in Every Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater's twill elbow patches and button-front detailing are drawn directly from the workwear conventions of WWII-era military mechanics, where reinforcement at high-wear points was a practical necessity. That same logic carries forward here: the elbow reinforcements add durability where a knit garment takes the most abrasion, so the sweater holds its shape and structure through regular use rather than just looking the part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAll-Day Cotton Comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% knit cotton construction means the sweater breathes during active wear while still providing warmth in cool conditions. Cotton knit moves with the body rather than restricting it, making the sweater comfortable across a range of activities (outdoor work, casual outings, or low-key layering) without the stiffness of heavier synthetic blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRib-Knit Fit and Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRib-knit trim at the cuffs and hem creates a snug seal that keeps cold air out and holds the sweater's silhouette in place during movement. The pull-on construction with button-front detailing keeps the front profile clean while making the sweater straightforward to put on and take off over layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Knit Cotton:\u003c\/strong\u003e Breathable, warm, and comfortable for all-day cool-weather wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwill Elbow Patches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reinforced high-wear points for added durability and authentic vintage appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eButton-Front Placket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic workwear detailing with a clean, functional front profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRib-Knit Trim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snug cuffs and hem for a secure fit and cold-air seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Sleeve Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full arm coverage suited to cool and cold weather conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% Cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSleeve Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLong Sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eButton-front placket; pull-on\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeather Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCold Weather\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKhaki\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSizes Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eS, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGarment Weight (S–XL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.85 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGarment Weight (2XL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.95 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGarment Weight (3XL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntended Wearer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAdult\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRothco\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis sweater suits adults looking for a durable, vintage-styled cotton knit pullover for cool-weather outdoor activities, casual daily wear, or workwear-inspired layering.

Cotton knit provides breathability and all-day comfort in cool weather while allowing natural movement, making it suitable for outdoor activities, casual wear, and everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sizes does the sweater come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco WWII Vintage Mechanics Sweater is available in six sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2XL, and 3XL. Rothco provides a Men's Size Chart to help with fit selection; consult that chart before ordering, as knit garments fit differently from woven apparel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat are the elbow patches made from, and why are they there?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe elbow patches on the Rothco WWII Vintage Mechanics Sweater are made from twill fabric. They reinforce the highest-wear area of a knit pullover, extending the garment's usable life while contributing to the authentic vintage military mechanic aesthetic the design is based on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this sweater suitable for layering in cold weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco WWII Vintage Mechanics Sweater is rated for cold weather use and features rib-knit trim at the cuffs and hem to seal out drafts. The pull-on construction fits over base layers. It is not described as a technical insulating layer, so for severe cold it works best as a mid-layer rather than the outermost shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the front closure work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco WWII Vintage Mechanics Sweater uses a button-front placket combined with a pull-on construction. The buttons provide the vintage workwear detailing the design is known for, while the overall garment is pulled on rather than fully opened at the front like a cardigan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rothco","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":67126213935475,"sku":"RTC-5349-KH-S","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":67126213968243,"sku":"RTC-5349-KH-M","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":67126214001011,"sku":"RTC-5349-KH-L","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":67126214033779,"sku":"RTC-5349-KH-XL","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":67126214066547,"sku":"RTC-5359","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":67126214099315,"sku":"RTC-5362","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/5349-RIGHT-B_e158d0be-421d-439e-a116-aa32c9ad6029.webp?v=1792114278","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/rothco-wwii-vintage-mechanics-sweater-khaki","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
