If you like a hoodie that flatters without feeling constricting, that's cozy without being boxy - this is it. I've spent the past five years working to make these garments perfect and I'm thrilled to share our newest piece with you. Featuring our trademark String Swap® system with our patented magnetic tips, this Imperial Hoodie can change looks with our interchangeable ZOX Strings in just seconds. On top of that, we brought back our patent-pending PushPockets ® for the V2 ZIP to keep your stuff where it belongs - in the pockets you put it in.
For the holiday 2020 release, we went back to the drawing board to create another staple fabric for our future lines - a cotton faced french terry. This new fabric is has an incredibly silky feel and a fantastic drape while still being durable and long lasting.
How it fits:
The V2 ZIP Hoodie has an oversized cut with a generous length in the body and sleeves. You’ll notice around .75” more length than your standard hoodies in sizes XS - M and 1.5” more in sizes L and up. This is important to note as if you typically order larger sizes just for length or bust you can easily go down a size and be fine.
Men: Cuts are true to size so if you normally wear a large you can select a size large here for a slightly oversized look. You can go down one size for a slimmer fit or up one size to have it baggier. Just remember that the ZIP allows the hoodie to be open and it’ll feel slightly larger than the pullover because of that, even though the dimensions are the same.
Women: Our hoodie is a unisex cut and the sizing reflects men’s sizes. We recommend you select one size down from your standard women’s size for a comfortable fit and two sizes down for a slimmer fit. For example: If you normally wear a women’s medium, you should select our size small for an oversized fit and and our size XS to be more form fitting.
Comfort:
The big change for the 2020 V2 is the fabric: While we loved how soft last years fabric was, we worked hard to combine softness with durability so that wash after wash, this hoodie stays looking fresh and feeling great. Construction of the V2 is done using flatlock - the same method found in wetsuits. This construction is incredibly beneficial as it’s more durable and comfortable than the standard overlock stitching found in normal hoodies. It removes all excess material from the inside of the garment at the seams and reinforces them for longevity.
