A single name crowns the chest in ivy-bold letters. One word , lover, muse, ghost, lineage — ascends to a crest. This is not attire but heraldry: the university of the heart, where belonging is devotion, not institution.

On the back, seven letters only. Enough for a cipher, a secret year, an unspoken vow. The spine carries what the lips cannot: a code for those admitted into your private society.

To collect this piece is to enthrone a word in permanence. To declare: this is my alma mater, my myth, my relic.


Design & Fit

  • Front (arched, one word up to 10 chars): A single word, crowned in Ivy letters, part lineage, part devotion, wholly yours. 

  • Back (up to 7 chars): A cipher tucked against the spine: a year, or a seven-letter spell, stitched as your private ex libris . 

  • Printed.

  • For the collector who knows that comfort can still be a statement piece.

  • Designed in our Atelier Standard Fit. A balanced silhouette for everyday ease and enduring warmth.

Fiber & Fabric

  • 50% cotton / 50% polyester heavyweight blend.

  •  Substantial yet breathable, now crafted with finer yarns and advanced MVS Air Spinning technology to reduce pilling, improve durability, and create a smoother surface for our archival typography.

Feel & Finish

  • Air jet spun yarn delivers a soft, cloud-like hand-feel that resists fuzzing and wear, keeping the garment’s surface as pristine as the day it entered your archive.

Construction

  • Double-lined hood with color-matched drawcord for structure and comfort.

  • Pouch pocket for warmth, ease, and keeping small essentials close.

  • 1x1 rib knit with spandex at cuffs and hem for shape retention that moves with you.

  • Double-needle stitching at shoulder, armhole, neck, waistband, and cuffs for a finish built to last as long as the words.

Ethics & Dyeing

  • Dyed using OEKO-TEX® certified low-impact dyes. Safe for your skin, gentler on the earth. 

  • Proud member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, ensuring ethically grown, sustainably sourced cotton.

Care Instructions (Collector’s Method)

  • Machine wash warm, inside out, with like colors.

  • Tumble dry low.

  • Do not iron. 

  • Do not dry clean.

  • Store folded in a cool, dry place — sunlight fades memory and thread.

Edition Note

  • Once inscribed, the piece is irrevocable. The inscription consecrates it,  no longer an edition, but a one-of-one artifact within the Meraki & Hodo archive.
