Fear of God Essentials State Hoodie Black

The Fear of God Essentials State Hoodie Black puts the State wordmark on black, which turns a collegiate reference into something closer to streetwear. Same hoodie as the grey, different job entirely.

What changes when you put it on black

On grey the State lettering reads as team apparel. On black it reads as a graphic. Neither is better, but they suit different wardrobes. Take the black if the rest of what you own is dark and you want the lettering to stand out rather than blend in.

State or 1977

The 1977 hoodies are the ones people recognise. The State pieces are quieter and less common, which is exactly why some buyers prefer them. If you already own a 1977 in black, this gives you a second black hoodie that does not look like the first.

Fit and sizing

• Boxy oversized silhouette, cut wide through the chest
• Dropped shoulder seams past the natural shoulder
• Short body with a thick ribbed hem
• Usual size for the intended fit, one down for something closer
• Available in S, M, L and XL

Wearing it

Black on black with the lettering as the only break is the cleanest version. It also layers well under an open overshirt, because the wordmark sits high enough on the chest to stay visible.

Care

• Cold wash at 30 degrees, inside out, with darks
• Hang dry, no tumble drying, to keep the print sharp
• No fabric softener, which flattens the fleece
• Fold for storage rather than hanging long term
