“Boots” — Special Edition Hoodie
“Boots” — Special Edition Hoodie
From the fields of Flanders to the endless march.
“Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin’ up and down again…”
This piece began where remembrance was first written in blood and mud.
“In Flanders Fields” gave the world its symbol — the poppy.
Kipling’s “Boots” carried that symbol forward, a rhythm of faith, fatigue, and endurance.
The “Boots” Hoodie honors that march — the unending weight of service and the quiet persistence of memory.
The artwork was drawn in the spirit of hand-inked WWII Americana — bold lines, sacred symbols, a lone World War I soldier standing between the words “No discharge on top” and “In the war” beneath a field of poppies.
Built on the Cotton Heritage M2580, it carries the same balance of softness and strength: a smooth ring-spun face for crisp detail, and a brushed fleece interior that feels broken-in from the first wear.
Details:
80% ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester fleece
Heavyweight 9.4 oz (319 g/m²) fabric
Standard unisex fit
Brushed interior for warmth and comfort
Smooth face for fine-detail prints
Pre-shrunk for consistent fit
Limited run — never reprinted
“We’re foot—slog—slog—slog—sloggin’ over Africa!”
— Rudyard Kipling, “Boots” (1903)
Inspired by Kipling’s haunting verses and a visit to the National Army Museum in London, the “Boots” hoodie honors the endless march — the sound of service, the weight of miles, and the stories carried across generations.
This special edition oversized hoodie was built for comfort, endurance, and reflection — a relaxed silhouette made for long days and quiet moments. Crafted from premium recycled cotton fleece, it carries the same worn-in feel as the field coats and barracks layers of old — sturdy yet soft, rugged yet calm.
The tungsten white “Boots” print embodies the rhythm of movement — every step, every sacrifice, every story.
This is more than a piece of apparel.
It’s a remembrance of the march itself.
