Description
400GSM. Two-way zip. Logo on the sleeve. The Alternative Zip Hoodie does three things differently from a standard zip-through and every one of them is intentional. The 400GSM recycled and organic cotton blend sits heavier than most zip hoodies on the market — you feel it the moment you pick it up. The two-way metal zip opens from the bottom as well as the top, giving you ventilation control that a standard zip-through simply doesn't have. And The Alternative script logo sits on the left sleeve rather than the chest — a placement detail that reads as considered rather than default.
50% recycled ringspun carded cotton and 50% organic ringspun carded cotton throughout — a genuinely sustainable blend at a weight that holds its structure wash after wash. Oversized boxy fit with dropped shoulders, large kangaroo front pocket, ribbed cuffs and hem, and reinforced seams built for long-term wear. The clean hood has no drawcord — keeping the silhouette minimal.
Fit: Oversized boxy unisex fit with dropped shoulders. Choose your regular size for the full oversized silhouette, or size down for a more standard relaxed fit. Available XS to 3XL — check the size chart for chest measurements.
