A Chicago flag hoodie machine knit in white, Lake Michigan blue, and red, designed by an independent artist who actually lives here. The flag stripes, the six-pointed stars, and the CHICAGO lettering are all knit into the fabric with a 12-gauge Birdseye jacquard stitch, not printed or screened on top, so the design is part of the sweater rather than sitting on it.
★ KNIT IN, NOT PRINTED ON ★
Almost every Chicago hoodie you will find is a screen print or a vinyl transfer on a blank sweatshirt. Those crack, peel, and fade, usually right across the lettering. This one is four-color jacquard knit with solid color trim, built the same way the ribbing is built into the cuffs. It cannot crack or peel, and it wears in rather than wears out.
★ MADE IN CHICAGO, BY SOMEONE FROM CHICAGO ★
I design everything in my Chicago studio. This one is personal. If you grew up here, moved away, moved here and stayed, or just love the flag, this was drawn by someone who sees it every day.
★ THE DETAILS ★
- 55% cotton / 45% polyester, lightweight and soft-feel
- Average weight 525g, about 1.2 lb
- 12-gauge Birdseye jacquard, four-color knit with solid trim
- Roomy unisex sizing, sizes 2XS through 3XL
- Hooded pullover with ribbed cuffs and hem
- See the size chart photo before ordering and measure carefully
★ WHO THIS IS PERFECT FOR ★
- Chicagoans who want the flag without a sports logo on it
- Transplants who moved away and still call it home
- Anyone who has ever explained what the four stars mean
- New arrivals, going-away gifts, and care packages
- Alumni, neighborhood loyalists, and lifelong North or South siders
- Anyone who wants a real knit sweater instead of a printed sweatshirt
★ MADE TO ORDER ★
Each hoodie is knit just for you after you order, so it is not sitting in a warehouse. One or two sweaters usually arrive in about three weeks. See the timeline photo for the full breakdown.
★ NO IMPORT TAXES, NO FEES, NO STRESS ★
All knitwear ships to you in the US with tariffs and customs duties already paid. Nothing extra is ever owed at your door.
★ GOOD TO KNOW ★
- Because it is knit, individual colors can look slightly different in person than on screen
- The sweater may shrink slightly after the first wash
- Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, do not bleach, do not dry clean, iron on low
- Orders cannot be changed or cancelled once placed, so please double-check your size and address
