In 1926, Ben Russell’s son came to his dad – the founder of
Russell Athletics – with a new idea for an all-cotton practice football jersey replacing the itchy wool uniforms worn at that time. Knowing the comfort of cotton, he crafted the first-ever sweatshirt. The brand is still creating essentials today, including the
Bucky drawstring shorts. Cut from organic cotton with a relaxed fit, they're great both for sofa-surfing and marathon-running (we know what we’d choose).
