Vaiņodes novads Coat of Arms Hoodie: A Symbol of Courland
This hoodie showcases the striking coat of arms (ģerbonis) of the former Vaiņodes novads, a region in the heart of Courland, Latvia. The design is a proud emblem of the area, now part of the larger South Kurzeme Municipality, and a testament to its heritage.
A Letter of Identity
The central element of the design is a bold, stylized letter "V." This "V" is more than just a letter; it represents the two main hubs of the municipality: Vaiņode and Vībiņi. The "V" is a visual anchor, solidifying the connection to this historic Latvian area.
Colors of the Land
The color palette is imbued with meaning. A vibrant green dominates the design, symbolizing the lush landscape and the rich forestry resources of the Vaiņodes region. This green hue reflects the natural beauty and the area's deep connection to the land.
A Glimmer of Hope
A shining sun takes a place within the design. The sun represents hope and the promise of development, suggesting a forward-looking perspective and aspirations for prosperity within the community.
Artist's Vision
The entire coat of arms was envisioned by local artist Mārtiņš Zālīte, capturing the essence and spirit of the area within a single, powerful design.
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.

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.
