Australian Stitch
100% Cotton Box Hoodie (Garment Dyed)
Crafted entirely in Melbourne from 100% organic cotton, this Box Hoodie is part of our new small batch garment dyed collection called, Close to Home. Inspired by native plants and vintage books found in the factory, each shade reflects qualities tied to Australian landscapes - resilience, adaptability and grounding calm.
Every hoodie is knitted, sewn and garment dyed within a few kilometres of our store, giving each piece a soft, lived in feel and natural colour variation that makes it truly one of one.
450GSM 100% cotton fleece gives this hoodie its structure and premium feel, without adding unnecessary heat. Because it is pure cotton, it stays breathable and comfortable even on warmer days. It is made for the way Australians actually live - those easy in between moments like the cool breeze that rolls in at dusk, salty skin after a swim, evenings by the campfire, and easy Sunday mornings that start with a coffee in bed.

NATURAL VARIATIONS TO EXPECT
Because each hoodie is garment dyed after construction, subtle differences are a natural and beautiful part of the process. No two pieces will ever be exactly the same, and that uniqueness is what gives this collection its character.
- Colour Variation: Shade depth may differ slightly from piece to piece. This comes from the minerals in the water, the weather on dye day and the hands involved — all part of the charm of true small batch dyeing.
- Fit Variation: Organic cotton naturally relaxes and tightens during the garment dye process. Small differences in length or width can occur and are considered part of the intended final fit.
- Brushed Fleece Texture: Because the hoodies are dyed after construction, the brushed inner fleece will feel slightly flatter and more lived in rather than fluffy. This softens beautifully with wear.
These variations are not faults. they are signs of an honest, human process, made entirely within a few kilometres of our store.
GARMENT DYED
WHAT MAKES THESE SO SPECIAL
Each pair is dyed after construction, allowing the colour to settle into the seams and fibres in a way regular fabric dyeing cannot achieve. Weather, water and minerals naturally influence the outcome, meaning no two pairs will ever be identical — a hallmark of true small batch craft.
