The NOWEAR Distressed Embroidery Zip-Up embodies the dark, raw identity of the brand through a balance of heavy texture, asymmetrical wear, and sharp embroidered detailing. Designed in a washed charcoal-black tone, this piece delivers an unmistakably archival aesthetic — rugged, lived-in, and visually intense.
The garment features hand-applied distressing scattered across the sleeves, chest, and pocket area. These abrasions create a natural worn-in character, giving each hoodie subtle variations and a one-of-a-kind finish.
On the chest, the embroidered NOWEAR emblem appears in a jagged, metal-inspired typeface, adding a sharp contrast against the soft fade of the fabric.
The back showcases a large, elongated embroidery of the NOWEAR logo, with long downward strokes that feel almost liquid — creating a dramatic, dripped effect that reinforces the dark-academic energy of the piece.
Constructed from heavyweight cotton fleece, the hoodie offers structure, warmth, and long-term durability. The fabric’s washed finish enhances depth and texture while providing a soft, broken-in feel.
The metal zipper adds a functional industrial element, grounding the piece in NOWEAR’s signature utilitarian style.
