The story+

This runner hoodie is for the friend who signed up for the 10K and regretted it at the first mile marker: a 1970s jogger in a sweatband looks back with pure regret, MILE ONE WAS A MISTAKE.

MILE ONE sits above the art and WAS A MISTAKE. below it, both in heavy slab capitals. In between, a sweaty jogger in striped tube socks leans away from a plain wooden marker post, face frozen in regret, with a long road stretching ahead.

It is the layer for pre-dawn starts, cold park loops and the walk back to the car after the first ten minutes. On Sand the lettering prints in navy and red; on Navy it prints in cream and red, with a cream outline around the jogger. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
Is this runner hoodie warm enough for cold morning runs?
It works as a warm-up and post-run layer. The Mile One Was a Mistake hoodie from Graphic Tees Co. is a Gildan 18500 pullover in 8 oz fleece, 50% cotton and 50% polyester, with a double-lined hood and a front pouch pocket. It suits cold park paths, race-morning waiting and the cool-down walk.
How does the Mile One Was a Mistake hoodie fit?
It is a classic unisex cut in sizes S through 3XL. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or go up one size for a roomier layer over a running shirt. Graphic Tees Co. offers a free size exchange if the first pick is not right, so sizing carries no risk.
Who is this hoodie a good gift for?
It suits the friend who signed up for a 10K, the coworker training for a first half marathon and anyone who jokes about the first mile. The Graphic Tees Co. hoodie prints to order in Sand or Navy, includes a free size exchange, and for Christmas you should order by about December 8.
How do I wash it so the print lasts?
Turn the Graphic Tees Co. hoodie inside out, wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry on low. Skip bleach and do not iron over the print. The design is printed directly on the fabric, so gentle care keeps the lettering and the jogger sharp, even after plenty of sweaty post-run laundry.
What colors does the hoodie come in?
The Mile One Was a Mistake hoodie comes in Sand and Navy. Sand gets its own version of the print with navy and red lettering so it reads on the light fabric, and Navy keeps the cream lettering with a cream outline around the jogger. Each color has its own photo on the product page.
How do I wash this hoodie?
Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
