Description
The Classic Zip Hoodie is the heavyweight in the Checks Downtown range, built on 450gsm brushed-back fleece rather than the thinner cotton most zip-throughs run on. It has weight to it in the hand and holds a shape when it is open.
The cut is oversized and boxy, wide across the chest with a slightly shortened body, so it sits at the hip rather than over it. A two-way zipper lets you open it from the hem, which matters more than it sounds when you are sitting down. Kangaroo pocket across the front, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a tonal Checks logo silkscreened at the chest.
Black with tonal branding throughout and a metal zip as the only break in it. This is the one that gets worn until it falls apart.
