Brushed Terry Hoodie

This hoodie is cut from a mid- to heavy-weight brushed French terry and features a tunnel pocket that spans the front body, which sits between two on-seam openings for a clean finish.

The color of this hoodie comes from lac, an insect dye. Initially appearing as a warm plum purple, the color shifts to dark wine when immersed in an iron solution.

Note that slight variations in color may occur among dye lots and are attendant to the natural dye process.
