8.5 oz. That is the whole argument.
Most hoodies sold online are between six and seven ounces. They feel fine in the photo and thin in your hands. This one is 8.5 oz fleece, brushed on the inside, which is the weight you notice the first time you pull it over your head and again every winter it survives.
Heavier fabric also holds a print properly. Thin jersey moves, the ink cracks along the fold. This does not.
Ounces per square yard, the standard way fabric weight is quoted. Higher is denser, warmer and slower to go shapeless.
Cotton where it touches you, polyester where it has to hold.
A 65/35 cotton-polyester fleece. Cotton on the face so it is soft and breathable, polyester through the body so it keeps its shape through a hundred washes instead of hanging off you by March.

Measure a hoodie you already like. Match the chest number.
That is more reliable than guessing from a letter. Lay one flat, measure armpit to armpit, and find the closest row. Between two sizes, take the larger. This is already a relaxed cut, so only size up if you want it properly oversized.
| Size | Chest (in) | Chest (cm) | Length (in) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 20 | 50.8 | 27 | 68.6 |
| M | 21 | 53.3 | 28 | 71.1 |
| L | 23 | 58.4 | 29 | 73.7 |
| XL | 25 | 63.5 | 30 | 76.2 |
| 2XL | 26.5 | 67.3 | 31 | 78.7 |
| 3XL | 28 | 71.1 | 32 | 81.3 |
Chest is measured across the garment one inch below the armhole, so it is half the way round. Length runs from the centre back neck seam to the front hem. Manufacturer measurements vary by about half an inch.
Please measure before you order. Each hoodie is printed for you after you buy it, so we cannot take one back because the size was wrong. We can always replace a print fault. Full size guide.
Water-based ink, pressed into the fabric.
Not a vinyl patch sitting on top that you can feel with a fingernail and peel at in two winters. The ink soaks into the fleece, so the print moves when the fabric moves and the surface still feels like fabric.
Front centre, twelve inches across, with the top of the design three inches below the collar, which is where it reads properly on a body rather than riding up under your chin.
Wash it like this and it outlives the hoodie

- 3Hang dry, or tumble low
- 4Never iron the print
Heat is the only real enemy. Hot washes and hot dryers are what crack a print, not time.
Because the thing you wear on a bad day should be on your side.
Nobody needs another slogan. But there is a difference between a hoodie that says nothing and one that says the quiet thing you were already thinking, in a way that is funny enough to wear to the shop.
Everything we make is written to be read twice: once by the person wearing it, who knows exactly what it means, and once by everyone else, who just thinks it is a nice sweatshirt. That is deliberate. It should never feel like an announcement.
No reviews yet. We are not going to invent any.
This shop opened recently and nobody has written about this piece yet. We could fill this space with five made-up names and five stars. Plenty of shops do. We would rather show you an empty shelf than lie on a page about being kind to yourself.
When real reviews arrive they will appear here, the good ones and the bad ones, and we will not be editing the second kind out.
- If the print is cracked, faded, off-centre or the wrong design, we remake it.
- If it arrives damaged, we remake it. No photograph of a returns label required.
- If the wrong item turns up, we send the right one and you keep the wrong one.
- Thirty days from delivery, and you never post anything back.
The questions people actually ask.
Does it run big or small?
True to the chart, cut relaxed. If you normally wear a medium tee and want a hoodie that sits close, take a medium. If you want the loose look in the photos, take a large.
Will the print crack?
Not if it is washed cold and inside out. The ink is pressed into the fleece rather than laid on top, and the fabric is heavy enough that it does not flex the print apart. Heat is what kills prints. Hot dryers above all.
How long until it arrives?
Two to five business days to print it, then shipping on top from the facility nearest you. Full timings by country on the shipping page.
Can I return it if the size is wrong?
No, and we would rather say so plainly here than bury it. Every hoodie is made after you order, so there is no stock to return it to. Print faults, damage and wrong items are a different matter entirely, and we remake those inside thirty days. Measure a hoodie you own before you pick a size.
Is it warm enough for winter on its own?
Over a t-shirt it handles most of autumn and a mild winter. In real cold it is a mid layer, not a coat. The fleece is brushed, which traps more air than a flat jersey of the same weight.
Is this a gift-safe thing to send someone?
Yes, and that is most of why it is written the way it is. Nothing on it names a condition. It reads as a nice sweatshirt to anyone who does not already know, which is the point.
