T-49
Organic Cotton Hoodie
A fleece-back fabric made from bioRe COTTON organic cotton grown in Tanzania. It has a moderate weight that can be worn across a long season, an extremely soft feel against the skin, and the warmth and breathability that come from its pile. bioRe COTTON is organic cotton produced through the bioRe PROJECT, which operates in India and Tanzania. Rather than simply buying up organic cotton, the project has built various systems to help the people of these regions become self-reliant. With around 5,000 contracted farms in India and Tanzania, it is known as one of the largest and most advanced projects of its kind in the world.
A hoodie with room through the body and arms, so it can also be worn as a jacket. The front opening has a facing, giving it more of an outerwear look. Elastic is used at the cuffs and hem; keeping the difference between the cuff and elastic dimensions small is intended to ease the strain on the elastic. The front patch pockets also work as hand-warmer pockets, making use of the nature of the fleece-back fabric. The hood is double-layered so that it holds its three-dimensional shape.
