Essentials 1977 Hoodie Ash White

Ash white sits between white and grey, softer than a bright white and easier to keep looking clean. 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. Restraint is what separates this from most streetwear. There is no back print and no loud graphic, just the cut doing the work.

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. Layer it under a coach jacket or wear it alone, which is how most people wear these.

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.
