Why silk

Your hood is the one thing that touches your hair all day.

  • Less friction than fleece

    Most hoods are lined in the same cotton fleece as the body. Silk's smooth fiber creates less friction than cotton or fleece, the same reason people sleep on silk pillowcases or wear silk wraps and bonnets.

  • Where it matters

    The silk is in the hood, at the point of contact: your face, your hair, the first thing you feel when you pull the hood up.

  • Nothing tugging at the sides

    No drawstrings. The double-layered hood keeps its shape and drapes softly around your face.

The rest of it

Still a real, everyday hoodie.

Silk questions

Is it silk or satin?
