Great gift idea for him! The heavyweight champion of Carhartt sweatshirts is made of 13-ounce, 75% cotton/25% polyester fabric and has a Rain Defender durable water-repellent finish. The zip-mock collar has an 8-inch antique-finish brass zipper. It is designed with spandex-reinforced rib-knit cuffs and waistband to keep the cold out.  Jeff
