Fear of God Essentials 1977 Hoodie Ink

The Essentials 1977 Hoodie Ink is neither navy nor black. Ink is a deep blue-black that looks close to black indoors and shows its blue in daylight. People tend to buy it once they already own the black one.

What ink actually looks like

Under shop lighting you would call it black. In daylight the blue comes through, particularly across the shoulders and sleeves. The 1977 print sits low-contrast against it, so the effect stays quiet from a distance and clear up close.

Fit and sizing

• Same boxy oversized pattern as the rest of the 1977 line
• Dropped shoulders, wide chest, short body
• Deep ribbed cuffs and a low ribbed hem
• Usual size for the intended fit
• One size down to bring it closer to the body
• Available in S, M, L and XL

Where ink beats black

Ink pairs better with mid-blue denim than black does, because it picks up the same tone instead of fighting it. It also stops an all-dark outfit reading flat, while hiding marks nearly as well as black.

Care

• Cold wash at 30 degrees, inside out
• Wash with darks to protect the depth of the colour
• Hang dry, no tumble drying
• No softener on brushed fleece
