Disclaimer: This hoodie runs small. For the perfect fit, we recommend ordering one size larger than your usual size.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
