The pattern across the chest is Ndop — the indigo cloth of the Bamileke, from the Grassfields of Cameroon. It was once reserved for kings and secret societies. Now it belongs to all of us. Ours is drawn after the original, not copied from it.
Black body, cream collar and cuffs. The colour block does the work here — it reads dressier than a hoodie, which means you can wear it somewhere your mother would approve of.
Fabric — 100% cotton, 380 gsm (11.2 oz)
Fit — Loose. A Small measures 46″ around the chest, so it runs generous. If you want it closer to the body, size down.
Care — Machine wash cold on gentle. Tumble dry low. Iron low and never over the print. No bleach, no dry cleaning.
Sizing — Full measurements in inches and centimetres below.
