Popeye Don't Bro Me Hoodie, Merchcode Back Print

A line in red across the shoulder blades

If somebody does not know you, they have no business calling you bro, and that is the message on the back of this hoodie. DON'T BRO ME IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME runs over three lines in big red comic capitals between the shoulder blades. The letters are rounded and set slightly askew, the way old cartoon annuals printed them. The front stays restrained: the red Popeye lettering sits high on the left chest, the sailor's head in white beneath it.

Merchcode makes the hoodie as an officially licensed Popeye article in black, with a hood and drawstring and a kangaroo pocket. It suits people who would rather pick their own mates.

Trims, cord and sizes

Hem and sleeves finish in broad ribbing, and a black cord passes through the hood. Inside the neck sits a label carrying the Popeye lettering. The pullover is offered in S, M and L, black in every case.

For cool evenings

A pullover for the walk to work in autumn, for an evening outdoors, and for anyone who prefers a line on the back to one on the chest. Head on, it barely registers; it gets read once you have walked past.
