Virbu Pagasta Ģerbonis Hoodie - Design Description
A Symbol of Virbu Parish
This hoodie showcases the officially registered coat of arms of Virbu Parish, a powerful emblem of identity and heritage for this Latvian community. The design is a direct representation of the parish's official heraldry.
Heraldic Elements in Focus
The central visual element is the shield, divided vertically (per pale) into two distinct fields. The left side bursts with a vibrant red, represented by the color gules, while the right side shines with silver (argent).
Crossing diagonally across the shield is a narrow stripe, known in heraldry as a "bend." This element is counterchanged, meaning it alternates in color as it moves from top right to bottom left, mirroring the contrast of the background. Part of the bend is red, the other half silver.
Meaning and Symbolism
The colors themselves carry deep symbolic weight. The red gules is a testament to strength, courage, and valor, while the silver (argent) stands for purity and honesty. These are time-honored symbols found throughout heraldry.
The "bend", the diagonal stripe, is intended to represent the dynamic nature and forward movement of the parish. Its placement and direction suggest movement, hinting at the parish's growth and development, perhaps alluding to local routes of trade or the rivers that have shaped its history.
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.
