Cat Forest Heavyweight Fleece Hoodie

A heavyweight Japanese cat hoodie and a warm Christmas gift for cat lovers: 10.3 oz brushed fleece with a watercolor forest of sleeping cats on the front and back and seigaiha waves down both sleeves.

The sleeve is what makes it a designed garment.

A hoodie with one print on the chest is a blank someone put a picture on.

This one is drawn for three places at once — front, back and down the

arm — so it holds together from whichever side you happen to see it.

The design

Matcha-green trees at staggered depth with cats curled asleep at their

roots, sized small on the front and given room to be a scene on the back.

The sleeve is a seigaiha wave, repeating the whole way down: texture, not

another illustration. Two drawings competing on one body is noise. A

drawing and a texture is a composition.

The fit

Oversized and genuinely heavy — 10.3 oz fleece, roughly half again the

weight of a standard hoodie, with a slight stretch so the thickness

doesn't read as stiff. Drop shoulders, loose through the body. Built for

the cold months rather than for layering in spring.

The blank

• Heavyweight brushed fleece, 10.3 oz/yd² (350 g/m²)

• 42% cotton, 53% polyester, 5% other fibers

• Oversized fit, drop shoulders

• Slight stretch

• Machine wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low

• Iron low, and not over the print

Made in small batches, so shade can vary a little between runs — the

fabric and the room it was printed in both have a say in it.

Printed for your order — nothing is held in stock. Artwork original to

Nekomori; how this design was made is recorded on its page.

Giving it as a gift

A Christmas gift for the cat lover who is always cold: roughly half again the weight of a standard hoodie and built for winter. The quiet oat-gray color and soft watercolor print make it an easy pick for a cat mom, cat dad or anyone who loves Japanese art.

• Sizing for someone else: It's cut oversized with drop shoulders and has a slight stretch, so the size they normally wear in a hoodie gives the relaxed fit shown. If it doesn't fit, it can come back within 30 days of delivery, unworn, with free return shipping.
• Ordering for Christmas or a birthday: every piece is printed after it is ordered, so count back about three weeks and order before then. The dated delivery estimate under the buy button is the one to go by, and checkout offers express shipping on most garments if you are cutting it close.
