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.
