The Journal Entry 001: Oversized Hoodie

The Eight Cats Journal 001 / Feb 2026

Our perfectly Oversized Hoodie was born from a desire to balance extreme comfort with a sharp, intentional silhouette that can be worn unisex. As Gerald Ortiz wrote on GQ last month, "hoodies run the gamut, and their stylistic range is broader than Mariah Carey's."

The Material: 460 GSM & 100% Cotton 

We chose a 460 GSM (Grams per Square Meter) 100% cotton fabric to ensure durability but stays structured as an oversized "Bubble" shape that is our signature look. Unlike other brands, Eight Cats hoodies maintain the drop-shoulder oversized look while cropped at waist–elongating your bottom silhouette. 

The Interior: Soft Fleece

Inside, we’ve integrated a non-piling fleece lining. It provides an immediate sense of warmth and softness against the skin (because fashion is also skincare, duh!) without adding unnecessary bulk. Think of it as a wearable weighted blanket tailored for cold season, aggressive summer AC, and everything in between.

The Cut: Unisex, Cropped, Oversized, and Relaxed

It took us over a year to perfecting the "fit":

• The Oversized Drop: A relaxed drop shoulder that gives the flattering boxy look on every body type.

• The Intentional Crop: Designed to hit at the natural waist unlike in traditional long hoodies.
  

• Unisex Blueprint: A unisex style item that looks flattering on anyone.
• The Latest Relaxed Fit:  In addition to the cinched cropped version, we wanted to offer this "relaxed version" to allow the fabric to drape naturally, creating an oversized look that is effortlessly flattering and sits clean over denim or skirt (styling tips here).
