Stio x KSX Hoodie

Overview Care Instructions From The Artist Details

Overview

Created in collaboration with Kellie Swanson of KSX ART, this superbly soft, heavyweight French terry hoodie fuses artistry and nature with custom, handcrafted prints.

The coziest style in our limited-run collaboration with the Bozeman-based artist Kellie Swanson (aka KSX ART), this hoodie’s unique prints explore the relationship we share with nature through art. Each print is created by hand on repurposed scrap denim using the power of the sun and local Montana botanicals, revealing the plants’ tiniest details and bearing the signature streaks and splatters of the artist at work. Our hoodie offers the heavyweight comfort of organic French terry cotton with a double-lined hood and stretch ribbing on the sides, cuffs and hem—the perfect place to land after epic days in the mountains.

Care Instructions From The Artist

Handle With Care

These handmade items need special care and love—handle with the tenderness they deserve! By following a few simple tips, you can extend the life of your garment's vibrant print.

Handwash Sparingly

I recommend hand washing only. Turn your item inside out and do not use any soap or detergent containing phosphates, bleach, or sodium. Air dry or tumble alone on low heat. Do not dry in direct sunlight. Overwashing may cause the print to fade. If fading occurs over time, washing the print in a dilute bath of hydrogen peroxide can usually restore it to its original intensity.

Embrace The Change

Just like a good pair of vintage jeans, natural dye will change over time. Though the colors may shift and blend like a mesmerizing watercolor painting, it's a testament to the living essence of the dye. I encourage you to embrace the ever-changing shades it brings.
