SIGNAL_FADE_09 ☰ is a washed-cotton pullover built around a dual-layer sleeve construction — a raw-hem outer sleeve sits over an inner sleeve, creating a structural depth that reads as two garments stacked. The mock neck collar sits low, the body drops wide, and the hem frays at the cut edge. Nothing is printed on. The layering is real.
Raw edges at the sleeve breaks and hem line give the piece its distressed register without relying on graphics or patches. The ribbed cuffs anchor the silhouette at the wrist, keeping the volume controlled where it counts. Wear it over a long-sleeve base on a late-night transit run, or alone when the temperature sits in that in-between range where a jacket is too much and a tee isn't enough.
Most layered-look pieces fake depth with sewn-on panels or screen prints. This one builds it into the cut. Two colorways — Black and Gray — both washed to a muted, broken-in tone that doesn't read as new. $80.00 USD. Sizes S through XL in stock.

FAQ
Q: Does the SIGNAL_FADE_09 run true to size or should I size up?
The silhouette is already loose and dropped — true to size gives you an oversized fit. Go up one if you want the sleeves to break further down the wrist or the body to sit lower.
Q: What's the material and how does the distressed finish work?
100% washed cotton. The distressed texture and uneven fade come from the wash treatment applied during production — it's not simulated with printing. The raw hem and sleeve edges are cut and left unfinished intentionally.
Q: How is this different from other layered-look sweatshirts on the market?
Most use a printed graphic or a sewn-on panel to suggest layering. The SIGNAL_FADE_09 builds the dual-sleeve structure into the actual cut — the outer sleeve is a separate layer with its own raw hem sitting over the inner sleeve. The depth is structural, not decorative.
Q: What fits well with this sweatshirt?
Wide-leg cargo pants or straight-cut denim in black, charcoal, or washed gray keep the palette tight. The Black colorway sits cleanly under a longline coat; the Gray reads well as the outermost layer in a tonal stack.
Q: Can I machine wash it, and will the raw edges fray more over time?
Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle. The raw edges will soften slightly with washing — that's expected behavior, not damage. Avoid high-heat drying; air dry flat to keep the texture and silhouette intact.
