Limited run of 30 hoodies. Manchester-made from British-spun Super cotton and individually dyed in Mytholmroyd using the melting power of ice cubes to create a unique smoke camouflage effect.

Each hoodie is completely unique in character, one-of-a-kind. This run is limited to 30 and we won’t be making any more.

Rather than mixing the dye with water, the powdered dye and ice cubes are piled on top of the hoodies. As the ice slowly melts, dye is spread in a beautifully random pattern over the cloth.

As each shirt is dyed by hand (and ice cube pixies) there will be some variation between individual hoodies.

Non toxic water based dye.

Made in Manchester, ice dyed in Mytholmroyd

Our hoodie is made from 100% sustainably sourced long staple Australian Super Cotton.

The cotton is spun at English Fine Cottons in Manchester, then knitted into heavyweight 450gsm cloth in Leicestershire. Finally cut and sewn, just over the hill from us, back in Manchester.

And finally the hoodies are ice dyed a hop, skip and a jump down the road from us in Mytholmroyd. Stanley runs his tie dye and print workshop in a tiny disused electrical substation.

From regenerative farming practices to a sustainable end product…

This hoodie is made from Australian Super Cotton which has a long staple (fibre) length. This means you can create a stronger garment out of less yarn. Fewer fibres in turn mean softness and a more luxurious feel. The raw premium cotton feels very soft and silky, with a bit of a shine to it, similar to wool.

Cotton comes from a single origin which is Glenn Rogan’s family farm in St George, Australia. Glenn voluntarily uses Best Management Practices (myBMP) whilst growing his cotton.

One very appealing feature of this leading industry initiative is that it enables full traceability – from end product right back to which paddock the cotton was grown in by individual farmers. It also ensures that cotton is produced on farms with the best farming techniques, technology and in an environmentally sustainable way.

Championing local makers

We first met Stanley on a freezing day in December on Todmorden (can you pronounce that?) Market where he sells locally baked bread. He was wearing a pair of HebTroCo moleskin jeans that he’d picked up from Oxfam in town. We got chatting and he explained how he was printing tie dye stuff in a unit he was renting for peanuts after it was flood damaged. Good local connections lead to great products.
