A Near Perfect DNO Hoodie—23 Years Later

A Near Perfect DNO Hoodie—23 Years Later

Printed in-house and back in stock forever.

Each print run consists of just a few pieces, pulled by hand one at a time, using a slightly updated version of our original screen. The art is larger and rougher to faithfully express the essence of our first Defend New Orleans prints.

I’d say this is the closest we can get to taking you back to our first summer in 2003. But it’s actually so much better than that! This piece might be the most successful execution of our original vision to date. It’s as good as, or better than, anything else we've made. And it happened naturally.

And we’re using our favorite hoodies. This is key; so important to the overall aura and execution of this one. It’s a world of levels up from 2003! We didn't have access to anything this well-made when we started, and I'm grateful for the changes that allow us to bring this level of quality today.

They’re heavyweight with a full, boxy cut and effortless, slightly-dropped shoulders. The fabric is knit with a thick, satisfying texture, and is garment-dyed to a perfectly faded pigment black. We print rich water-based ink deep into the fibers of the fabric, where it cures slowly under low heat and becomes one with the garment.
