Revenge Aberrated Reconstructed Zip Black Hoodie: How to fit, take care of and style it.

We’re Revenge. We create skate wear, music-inspired streetwear. One of our essential pieces is the Revenge Aberrated Reconstructed zip Black Hoodie. A black zip-up with graphics that are embedded in rather than printed on the zip-up. This guide explains what it is, how to wear it, how to care for it and how it complements our line.

The Revenge Aberrated Reconstructed Zip Black Hoodie’s Realization

Black zip-up hoodies are for all intents and purposes a base layer in all things. This version features as always, a heavy weight feel, long-lasting graphics and a consistent fit after washing. Layering is easy thanks to the zip front. If it’s mild, open it over a tee. When it’s not, zip it under a jacket!

The ‘reconstructed’ aspect of the name alludes to the design language – bits that appear ‘glued on’ rather than simply ‘printed’. It belongs to the same family of other zip styles such as contrast zip hoodies, embroidered zip hoodies, etc. but with its own graphic identity.

This hoodie is designed to complement the complete Revenge wardrobe. You can create a full fit from one location without having to take a leap of faith on what matches.

How to Wear It

There’s no need to have a styling guide for a black hoodie. But there’s a few things that make it look better.

Layer over a tee.

Over one of our Revenge T shirts – one that has a graphic that shows through when the zip is open. Black and white are contrasts when it comes to lighter tees. It is dark due to an all-black layer.

Choose the appropriate pants.

Both Revenge jeans and Revenge Shorts will do the job. Cargos are OK as well. The hoodie is casual enough to be complemented by slim or straight denims. Unless that’s the style you’re going for, avoid skinny bottoms.

Add outwear as necessary.

Under a Revenge Jacket in the fall and winter months. A bomber or outer layer is easy to move when paired with a zipper hoodie. Make sure the jacket isn’t too large and interferes with the hoodie beneath.

Keep headwear simple.

Black or neutral-colored hooded tops are stylish enough to be worn on their own—takes the place of the hat.

Avoid additional weight.

Too much fabric underneath is a Revenge Sweatshirt. Save the hoodie for when you’re not in the attire!

Care Guide: Keep It Looking Right

This is the section that people miss out on. Don’t skip it.

Washing

Flip the hooded t-shirt inside out. Every time. That one habit is beneficial to the graphic, as well as to the black fabric. Pull the zipper entirely up prior to the machine. Exposed zipper teeth catch fabric and print in the wash.

Only use cold water. Black and cracking prints on hot water. Use a soft soap liquid detergent. No powder, it is like grit against the fabric. No fabric softener. No bleach. Wash with soft articles: tee, sweats and other hoodies. Not any kind of jeans with hardware. Not lint shedding towels.

Drying

When possible, air dry. Prints crack and black prints become grey due to heat from a dryer. If you need to use a dryer, use low heat and remove as soon as it is dry. Don’t hang it wet on a hanger, shoulders will stretch. Place it on the ground or hang it upside down on something clean.

Storing

Fold it. Don’t hang it. Over time, the shoulders and waistband can be stretched out of shape due to hanging. Don’t stack it, store it on a shelf or in a drawer.

Ironing

No ironing of graphics. If wrinkled, iron on low heat inside out. Be sure not to iron directly onto the print.

Be aware of and avoid warnings.

Don’t bleach.

It can destroy black colored fabric and tatter prints.

Don’t use fabric softener.

It coats the fabric and reduces print adhesion.

Don’t dry on high heat.

Prints crack and black fades to grey.

Don’t hang it wet.

Shoulders become out of alignment.

Don’t iron the graphic directly.

Do not iron on the inside, use low heat.

Avoid using abrasive materials to wash.

Fabric and print are damaged by zippers, hardware and towels.
