The story+
This running zip up hoodie is for the runner who regrets the first mile every single time and laces up again anyway, zipped on for the cold start line and the cooldown walk.
A sweaty, wide-eyed runner in a headband, an orange striped jersey, navy shorts and striped socks runs hard on a dirt path past a wooden post, in orange, cream, navy and tan with a worn print texture. MILE ONE runs above it and WAS A MISTAKE. below in two lines of heavy slab capitals, the last line wider than the first: navy and brick red on Ash, cream and coral on Black and Navy. The full print is on the back. On the front, a small MISTAKE. wordmark in the same slab capitals as the back is embroidered on the left chest, and the words MILE 1 are stitched on the left cuff, in white thread on Black and Navy and navy thread on Ash. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed and stitched the day you order it.
