Fear of God Essentials x SSENSE Knit Sweater Rain Drum

Fear of God Essentials x SSENSE Knit Sweater Rain Drum is built for cooler seasons and sharp layering. It feels special from the moment you pull it on.

SSENSE exclusive knit with relaxed Fear of God proportions

This sweater comes from a focused capsule made with SSENSE, so the details feel sharper than a generic knit. Shoulders drop in a controlled way, the body falls straight, and the block is roomy without drowning your frame.

The knit uses a heavyweight cotton blend that keeps structure while staying breathable on long days. You get warmth on cold streets and comfort once you step indoors. The fabric has enough density to hang clean, not collapse or cling.

Rain Drum colour: a deep neutral for real outfits

The Rain Drum shade sits between chocolate and washed coffee tones. It reads earthy and calm, not loud. That makes it easy to wear several times a week without feeling repeated.

In daylight it shows subtle depth, especially against washed denim or off white sweats. Under softer indoor light it darkens slightly, giving your outfit more mood. You can run this piece with black, grey, cream or olive and the balance still works.

Signature Essentials branding handled with restraint

The front carries clean ESSENTIALS lettering that sits flat on the knit surface. It signals the brand without taking over the look. When you layer a coat or shell on top, you still glimpse logo and texture together.

At the back neck, the rubberized Fear of God Essentials label finishes the story. It feels familiar if you already own the fleece pieces, but the knit base makes it feel more refined.

Building outfits around Fear of God Essentials x SSENSE Knit Sweater Rain Drum

For off duty days, style this sweater with relaxed sweatpants and chunky trainers. Add a cap and your look feels considered but easy. On city nights, swap sweats for straight leg denim and leather sneakers or boots.

In a work setting, pair the knit with tailored trousers and simple derbies. The relaxed shoulders keep your upper half soft while the rest of the outfit reads sharp. When you leave the office, you can lose the belt and still feel right.

To mix Rain Drum with more textures, explore the wider Fear of God Essentials lineup at AFV. You will find fleece, jersey and outerwear that echo the same relaxed attitude.

Layering potential from early fall to deep winter

This piece works over a tee in early fall, then under heavier outerwear when temperatures drop. The knit slides cleanly under wool coats, parkas and technical shells without bunching at the shoulders.

Ribbed cuffs and hem keep the silhouette tidy. You can push sleeves up when it warms, or tuck just the front hem into waistbands to change proportions. Either way, the sweater keeps its shape across a full day.

Comfort you notice after a full day of wear

Inside, smooth seams sit comfortably over tees or long sleeves. The knit has enough give to move with you on commutes, flights and long weekends away.

With regular wear, the fabric relaxes slightly without feeling tired. Cuffs stay tight enough and the neckline stays flat. The body keeps that familiar drape that makes you reach for this piece again.

Texture, weight and long term wear

The knit surface has a slight grain that catches light without feeling rough. It gives outfits depth in photos and in real life.

Because the yarn is tightly constructed, the sweater keeps its line after many wears. You can fold it into a weekender bag, shake it out and pull it on without much fuss.

Simple care routines work best. Turn the piece inside out, follow cool wash instructions where possible, and dry it flat on a clean surface. This helps the ribs and body keep their original proportions.

Treat it like a favourite pair of denim or a trusted pair of sneakers. The more considered you are with care, the more seasons this knit stays in your cold weather rotation.
