Spanish Red Cross Sweatshirt

Cruz Roja Quarter-Zip

This is a genuine Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja Española) uniform sweatshirt: a red quarter-zip pullover with the organization's white cross on the chest. It is a warm mid layer for cool mornings, workshop days or evenings outdoors. Collectors of Spanish service and emergency uniforms will want it for the issue details, which include branded hardware and the printed neck tape that marks it as the real thing.

Features

• Quarter-Zip Front — A zip runs partway down the chest, so you can open the neck to dump heat or close it against wind without taking the sweatshirt off.
• Stand-Up Collar — With the zip closed, the collar rises to cover the neck and stops cold air getting in at the top.
• Red Cross Chest Emblem — A white outlined cross sits on the left chest, the mark Spanish Red Cross personnel wear.
• Branded Zipper Pull — The red zip pull carries the Cruz Roja name and a small red cross tab.
• Printed Neck Tape — The inside collar seam is finished with tape printed with the Cruz Roja name in repeat, a detail of the issued garment.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — Cotton makes the fabric soft against the skin, and polyester helps it keep its shape through repeated washing.
• Ribbed Cuffs And Hem — Stretch-knit bands at the wrists and waist sit close to the body so warmth stays in and the sleeves stay put.
• Pullover Cut — The body has no full-length zip or buttons, so it layers cleanly under a jacket or over a T-shirt.

Spanish Red Cross Issue

Cruz Roja Española is Spain's national Red Cross society, and this sweatshirt belongs to the uniform its personnel wear. The cut is plain and practical: a solid red cotton-polyester body, a short zip at the neck, and ribbed finishing at the cuffs and hem. Because it is the issued article and not a fashion copy, the cross, zip pull and neck tape match what Red Cross staff in Spain actually wore.
