The sweaters are made using [surplus material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remake-by-burberry) drawn from sweatshirt stock that was used to craft varsity jackets. In addition to this, the special hoodie is made using entirely unneeded fabrics that are now breathing new life into the limited edition silhouettes. The hoods are used from materials stitched together and have asymmetrical miss-matching sleeve lengths from unused materials as well. The name of the capsule is Reclaimed Hoodie and it is set to launch officially on February 9th and will be available online through the Ceeze website.
