One hoodie. One new experiment every Friday. Follow the process and get first access when selected pieces become available.
WEEK 05 / WASH COMPARISON
Two hoodies went through comparable washing conditions and timing, but the finishes came out noticeably different. One stayed darker; the other ended up much lighter. This week I am putting them side by side to look at what changed — and which one I would actually wear.
Two hoodies. Comparable washing conditions and timing. Noticeably different shades in the finished garments. This week is a side-by-side look at the results, the details and which finish works better in practice.
WEEK 04 / REVEALED
For Week 04, I tried a PU application on a cotton hoodie. It's a finish more commonly associated with faux leather, but on cotton it gives a completely different result: an uneven sheen over the soft fabric underneath. I wanted to see how far I could push the surface without turning the hoodie into something else.

WEEK 03 / REVEALED
Same hoodie, different process. For Week 03 I used pigment dye to give the fabric a softer, dusty brown tone with natural highs and lows across the garment. The finish feels worn-in from day one and will continue to develop with wear and washing.

WEEK 02 / REVEALED
Same base hoodie, another vintage wash. This time I changed where the fading sits and how the washed areas are distributed across the garment.

WEEK 01 / REVEALED
The first hoodie starts with subtle distressing and a washed, worn-in finish. Nothing too aggressive — just enough to change the original black hoodie without losing the piece underneath.
