The 100 Year Hoodiewas made to combat fast fashion by exemplifying that durable, high-quality clothing has a place in a world that opts for throw-away apparel.
At first glance, this hoodie looks like your average pedestrian apparel. It's available in charcoal and yellow and ticks all the appropriate fashion boxes: it boasts comfortable material, adjustable draw strings, pockets and a working zipper and is said to be able to last for 100 years. Made with the same super material that's used in armored vehicles and motorcycle racing suits, this sweater is capable of surviving the harshest treatment. Thanks to this material, the sweatshirt can be dragged behind a speed boat, fired with a blow torch and then worn out to a party.
This hoodie promises to stand the test of time, creating space for high-quality apparel that lasts.
