Unisex Heavy-Blend Hoodie

A soft, cozy hooded sweatshirt built for comfort-first living. This heavy-blend hoodie pairs plush insulation with a clean, unfussy silhouette — roomy enough to curl up in, tidy enough to wear out.

Product Highlights

Made from a thick cotton/polyester blend, this hoodie feels plush the moment you put it on. The fabric traps warmth without feeling bulky, and the soft brushed interior keeps it gentle against the skin — perfect for chilly mornings, late-night walks, or working from the couch.

Practical details matter: the spacious kangaroo pocket gives your hands a place to warm up and keeps small essentials close, while a matching drawstring adds a refined touch that won't clash with print or embroidery. Built with reinforced seams and a balanced weight, it wears like your favorite sweatshirt from week one.

  • Thick cotton/polyester blend for softness and thermal comfort
  • Brushed interior for a cozy hand-feel
  • Large kangaroo pocket for warmth and storage
  • Matching drawstring for a clean, coordinated look
  • Durable construction designed to hold shape and color

Fit & Style Notes

This hoodie has a relaxed, unisex cut—comfortable as a standalone layer or roomy enough to go over a tee. Prefer a contemporary, oversized look? Consider sizing up one. Want a neater fit for layering under jackets? Stick with your usual size.

Style it with tapered joggers and minimalist sneakers for an elevated casual set, or add a denim jacket and boots for an easy street-ready outfit. It's a versatile base for prints, patches, or embroidered logos.
