Description

Up North, the weather has opinions. The Alternative Up North Hoodie is built for that — 350GSM heavyweight fabric in 85% organic cotton and 15% recycled polyester, with a soft warm feel and a relaxed fit designed for life on the move. The small boxed North directional print sits quietly on the left chest. Subtle enough for everyday wear, clear enough for anyone who knows what it means.

Dense enough to hold its shape through regular wear and washing, warm enough to wear on its own through autumn and winter, and easy enough to layer under a jacket when the temperature really drops. Available in Grey Marl and Teal.

Fit: Modern relaxed fit. These run slightly small — most customers size up for the best fit. Check the size chart before ordering. Unisex, like everything we make.
