Brad Pitt’s Trackside Style: Sunspel Reissues Its Loopback Sweatshirt for F1 Film Release

Brad Pitt has long been a lodestar of quietly confident menswear — the kind of guy who can wear a sweatshirt like it’s tailoring. So it’s no surprise that, in the upcoming F1 movie, he does exactly that. Sunspel’s Loopback Sweatshirt makes an understated cameo in the film, worn by Pitt in the kind of off-duty scene that still manages to look runway-ready.

To mark the moment, Sunspel is doing something it rarely does: a limited-edition reissue. On June 25, 2025, the brand will release just 100 pieces of the sweatshirt in two colours — Thyme and Pale Pink — exclusively at sunspel.com. RRP is £135. Consider this your advance warning.

Originally introduced under the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson, the Loopback Sweatshirt was a rethink of the classic athletic pullover. The result? A trim silhouette, crisp V-stitch insert, and ribbed cuffs that manage to be as comfortable as they are elevated. Crafted in Sunspel’s signature loopback cotton — famed for its softness and technical insulation — this is leisurewear done the British way: sharp, heritage-rooted, and never trying too hard.

That the piece has now landed in a major Hollywood film about Formula 1, arguably the world’s most style-forward sport, feels appropriate. F1 is about precision, performance and spectacle. Sunspel, in its own understated way, has always excelled at the first two. The Loopback Sweatshirt, though deceptively simple, is built with the kind of fabric engineering and considered fit that places it squarely in the realm of modern menswear essentials.

Sunspel has long had a habit of finding its way into iconic menswear moments — from its Riviera Polo shirt worn by Daniel Craig’s Bond to its collaborative work with designers like JW Anderson and Paul Weller. This latest moment, though, is both more subtle and more self-assured. It’s not about logos or hype. It’s about craft, fit, and a sense of effortlessness.

Which, if you’ve paid attention to Brad Pitt’s style over the years, is exactly the point.
