The Gold Standard No. 1 Zip-Front Hoodie by Hinoki in Common
As the weather cools, the idea of a capsule wardrobe gains importance. A capsule wardrobe consists of a carefully selected array of timeless pieces that easily mix and match, enabling you to put together stylish, cohesive outfits with little effort. The aim is to simplify your wardrobe by emphasizing versatile, high-quality items on which you can depend throughout the season. One such item to add to your wardrobe is the No. 1 Zip-Front Hoodie by Hinoki in Common. This Los Angeles-based company is redefining capsule wardrobe essentials with a perfect blend of style, comfort, and sustainability. Crafted from Certified Organic Cotton grown and knit in the United States, this hoodie embodies the brand’s mission to create clothing that inspires confidence without sacrificing versatility.
Designed by Anna Adams, a seasoned fashion visionary with nearly two decades of experience, the No. 1 Zip-Front Hoodie stands out for its unique combination of feminine elegance and casual comfort. A roomy fit, shorter length, wide neck opening, and bold gold double zipper make it a statement piece that effortlessly integrates into any fall capsule wardrobe. Available in classic black and olive, this hoodie is more than just a layering piece; it’s a staple that adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
“While I have always been an admirer of design forward and impeccably tailored clothing, I have found that for better or worse I live in a uniform,” says Adams. “That typically consists of a pair of jeans and a zip up hooded sweatshirt. After years of purchasing hoodies at a multitude of price points and never feeling like anyone was getting it right, I decided to take a stab at it myself! I drew the initial designs and started the process in 2022. We altered the pattern at least 10 times, and worked with several different fabrics before landing on what I believe to be the gold standard for this category.”
The No. 1 Zip-Front Hoodie is crafted from certified organic cotton sourced and knitted in the USA. Its heavy fleece is luxuriously soft on the inside while maintaining a structured silhouette. Designed for a relaxed fit through the arms and body, it flatters without compromising on comfort. The slightly shorter length and wide neck opening lend a feminine touch without being too fitted. Plus, it features a striking shiny gold double-sided zipper for a standout accent.
Adams designed her hoodie with emphasis on:
Shape: The length lands between a crop and a classic sweatshirt, providing cozy coverage without the frump. The bottom up zipper allows visual interest, and aids in giving an hourglass shape. There are no side seams, and a sloped bottom accounts for a difference in the front and back body.
No itchy tags: The brand and care are super soft printed satin. Additionally, the care label is attached with a single top stitch for easy removal.
No bubbling zippers: Bubbling zippers happen because a zipper is fixed in length while the fabric around it typically has stretch and is prone to shrinkage. To that end, the No. 1 Zip-Front Hoodie zipper is added to the garment after the wash and dye process, which eliminates the shrinkage from future washes. Additionally the double sided zipper allows you to zip up from the bottom when sitting down or when your outfit calls for a visible waist.
At Hinoki in Common, sustainability goes beyond just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental principle. The brand’s dedication to minimizing its environmental footprint is reflected in every facet of its production, from sourcing materials in the U.S. to promoting sustainable agriculture. When you choose the No. 1 Zip-Front Hoodie, you’re not just acquiring a versatile and durable piece; you’re also backing a brand that values both people and the planet.
