Essentials 1977 Black Hoodie

Black is the most searched Essentials colour by a distance. It holds the rubberised logo at the sharpest contrast and goes with everything. 1977 is Jerry Lorenzo's birth year, and putting it across the chest turned a personal detail into the line's signature graphic. It is the piece most people picture when they search for Essentials. Heavyweight cotton fleece with a raised rubberised chest logo you can feel with a thumb, which is the detail counterfeits get wrong. Stitching runs clean throughout and the fabric holds its shape rather than going limp after a season.

Fit. Cut oversized by design: wide body, dropped shoulders, slightly shorter length than the width suggests. Order your usual size for the intended look, or size down one for a closer fit.

Styling. Wear it over shorts in summer and joggers when it cools. The cut works either way.

Care. Wash cold at 30 degrees, inside out, and air dry. Heat lifts the rubberised logo at the edges and eventually cracks it, and there is no fixing it once it goes.
