Shape & Aesthetic:

The fit of this hoodie is structured and boxy which does not fall after several wears. The hood paneling re-enforced makes the graphics of the Twins, Shark or Big Ape, visible and erect. The heavy-gauge ribbed cuffs and heels ensure a secure tapered end at the wrists and waist, pre-shrunk cotton reduces warping, and heavy-gauge ribbed cuffs and hem used minimize the cuff holes and hem.

Care & Authenticity:

Wash in cold water inside and out in the machine to save graphics. Hang dry not to occur as it may result in shrinkage and deteriorate the screen prints. In every original object there is an embedded tag on the neck, on the reflective gold ape head and a tag on the left sleeve, a silky piece of woven thread containing the registered trademark symbol.

Will this fit larger head sizes?

The oversized hood design provides ample room for all head sizes and hairstyles. The deep-cut construction ensures the fabric does not pull tight against the forehead or neck.

Is the brim adjustable?

While this hoodie does not feature a physical brim like a hat, the hood includes thick flat-knit drawstrings. These allow you to adjust the tension around the face to secure the fit in windy conditions.

Does the hoodie lose its shape over time?

The high-density 100% cotton weave features a superior stretch-recovery rate. This prevents the "pouching" effect at the elbows or the hem from over-stretching during daily movement.
