Basic grey sweatshirts are easy to find; well-made ones with real embroidery detail are not. Mure & Grand's New York Skyline sweatshirt caught my eye for exactly that reason, and I wanted to see if the craftsmanship matched the price tag.
The New York skyline silhouette is hand embroidered using a run stitch technique, giving it a textured, slightly imperfect charm rather than the flat look of machine-printed graphics. It sits on the chest at a scale that reads as understated rather than logo-heavy.
Pros: soft mid-weight fabric, a relaxed but not oversized fit, and embroidery that feels durable rather than something that will fray after a few washes.
Cons: at $54, it sits above typical mass-market sweatshirt pricing, so it is a piece you buy for the embroidery craftsmanship rather than pure basics value.
For anyone who wants a New York keepsake piece that does not look like tourist merchandise, this earns its price.
