A Heavyweight Icon of Comfort.

True to the Progress Running Club spirit of quality and endurance, the Laniakea Sweatshirt is a masterclass in traditional manufacturing. Inspired by the rugged 1950s athletic wear originally designed for American football, this sweatshirt is built to provide warmth, structure, and a lifetime of wear.

The Heritage of the Loopwheel Like its T-shirt counterparts, the Laniakea is crafted in Miyazaki, Japan, on antique circular knitting machines. Operating at a pace of just one meter of fabric per hour, these machines create a tubular, seamless torso. This tension-free process ensures the garment never twists or loses its shape, resulting in a sweatshirt that feels as substantial ten years from now as it does the first day you put it on.

Premium Weight & Texture The Laniakea is cut from a formidable 450gsm recycled Japanese cotton. The exterior has a clean, matte finish, while the interior features a lightly brushed fleece for ultimate softness against the skin. It’s the perfect layer for a post-run cool down or a crisp morning in the city.

Authentic Sportswear Detail Every element of the Laniakea pays homage to vintage sportswear. It features a classic "V-insert" at the neckline for structural support and sweat absorption, alongside elongated 10cm ribbed cuffs and hems. The fit is intentionally boxy with a slight drop-shoulder, providing that timeless mid-century silhouette.
