The Ravenhood Hoodie

Yes, properly. The zip is two-way, so you pull the lower slider up past your chin and the hood closes across your nose and mouth with an eye slot, like a balaclava. The face panel is embroidered as well, so zipped up it still looks designed rather than like you have pulled a hoodie over your head. Pull it halfway down for a high collar, all the way down for a normal hoodie.

Embroidered. Satin stitch in real thread across the chest, down both sleeves, over the back and onto the hood panel. You can feel the relief with your thumb. This is the single biggest difference between this and the printed hoodies that look identical in a video and arrive feeling like a t-shirt with a sticker on it.

450 gsm brushed fleece. For reference, a standard high-street zip hoodie is usually 280 to 320 gsm. Most people wear this through winter without a coat over the top, which is part of why it ends up being the only thing they wear.

It is cut oversized and unisex. Take your normal size for the boxy oversized look that people buy it for, or size down one if you want something closer to a regular fit. Dropped shoulders and long sleeves are intentional. 92% of people take their normal size and keep it.

No, because there is nothing to crack. Cracking is what happens to a printed film sitting on top of fabric when it flexes. Thread is worked into the fabric, so it moves with it. Wash it inside out on cold and it will fade at the same rate as the fleece around it rather than falling apart before it.

Yes, and most people do most of the time. Hood down and unzipped it reads as a heavy embroidered zip-up and nothing else. The balaclava is there when you want it, not something you are stuck with.

For most of it, yes. 450 gsm brushed fleece with a full-face hood is warmer than a lot of thin jackets. It is not waterproof and it is not a parka, so in real rain or proper cold you will still want a shell over it.

Inside out, cold, gentle cycle, and hang it to dry. Do not tumble dry it and do not iron over the embroidery. Turning it inside out is the one that actually matters: it stops the stitching rubbing against the drum.

Yes. One cut, one size run, worn by everyone. The photography shows it on different people because it genuinely is the same garment, not a men's version and a women's version.

Around 7 days on average, and it is free. You get a tracking link as soon as it leaves the warehouse.
