What this hoodie is like
It is a Gildan 18500: 271 gsm, a two-layer lined hood with a matching drawstring and a kangaroo pocket at the front. It is the only garment in the catalogue with a hood, the one that handles mid-season on its own and goes under the down jacket in January. It is also, by some distance, the one that most often ends up being given as a present.
Read more about this hoodie
The kangaroo pocket and the drawstring take chest away from the drawing: the print sits above the pocket, on the top half, which is the continuous surface the garment has. It is a real limitation and better said before than after: if what you want is to see the whole design, the crew neck sweatshirt gives it to you with nothing in front, and the print gives it at wall size.
Inside out, at 30 °C and dried on low. The hood and the cuffs take a good deal longer to dry than the rest, and rushing them with a hot dryer is exactly what ends up shrinking the ribbing. It goes from S to 5XL. In white it leans towards off-white, because of the cotton and polyester blend.

The drawing on «Ítaca»
The island seen from the sea: the two-peaked profile of Mount Neritos above the water, the harbour houses at its foot and a square-sailed boat coming closer. It is a place, not a vase.
Where this drawing comes from
There are two summits and not one, and there is a boat coming closer. It is the island seen by the one who is coming back, which is the only point of view that makes sense in this poem.
«Odyssey», book IX, 21-27: «I dwell in clear-skied Ithaca… rugged, but a good nurse of young men». The two-height profile and the inlet are the ones the poem describes and the ones the Ionian island has.
Sizes: measurements, where each one is made and what it costs
Measurements of the garment, not of your body. Take one that fits you the way you like, lay it flat and measure: the width from seam to seam below the sleeve, and the length from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem. These are the ones the factory itself publishes, in centimetres.
| Size | Length | Width | Manga | Made in | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 68,6 | 50,8 | 85,1 | Spain | 61.95 € |
| M | 71,1 | 55,9 | 87,6 | Spain | 61.95 € |

| 5XL | 86,4 | 86,4 | 102,9 | the EU | 77.95 € |
Manufacturing tolerance: ±2 cm, as with any cotton garment.
Sizes 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL cost more because they use more fabric and the factory charges us more for them: we would rather say so here and stock them than not have them. The regular sizes all cost the same.
«Made in» comes from the warehouse Printful declares for that exact size, not from an estimate of ours.
