Vertabrae “Distressed Destroyed” Embroidered Logo Hoodie – Black

Vertabrae “Distressed Destroyed” Embroidered Logo Hoodie – The Spine Is What Holds You Upright When Everything Around You Has Been Worn Down. The Embroidery Is What Holds the Logo Together When the Fabric Around It Has Been Destroyed. Vertabrae Is the Brand That Knows the Difference Between What Breaks and What Doesn’t.

Most brands name themselves after what they want to project — the aspiration, the image, the identity that the brand wants the person who wears it to carry into the world as the thing the brand wants to be seen as. Vertabrae names itself after what it is built from — the vertebrae: the specific bones that are most completely the bones when they are most completely the structure that holds the body upright when the body is most completely the body that is standing rather than the body that has fallen, the bones that protect the cord that carries every signal from the brain to the rest of the body, the bones that are most completely themselves when they are most completely the structure that the body cannot stand without. The spelling is the brand’s own — Vertabrae rather than Vertebrae: the specific deviation from the standard that names the brand’s own relationship to the standard, the way the brand carries the reference to the spine without being the medical textbook’s own spelling of the spine, the way the brand is most completely the brand when the brand is most completely the thing that knows what the spine is without needing the textbook to spell it correctly. The distressed destroyed finish is the brand’s own argument — the specific treatment that takes the fabric to the condition that names the brand’s own philosophy: the worn (the fabric that has been in the conditions long enough to carry the specific quality that only the conditions can produce when the conditions have been working on the fabric long enough), the destroyed (the fabric that has been in the conditions long enough to have been taken past the worn to the specific condition that names the limit of what the conditions can do to the fabric before the fabric is most completely the fabric that has been most completely worked on). The embroidery is the brand’s own counter-argument — the specific craft that holds the logo together when the fabric around it has been taken to the destroyed: the needle and thread that are most completely the needle and thread when they are most completely the craft that the destruction cannot reach, the specific precision that is most completely the precision when it is most completely the thing that remains when everything around it has been worn and destroyed. The logo embroidered on the destroyed fabric is the spine on the body that has been through the conditions — the specific structure that holds when everything around it has been worked on by the conditions that the conditions produce when the conditions are most completely the conditions that test what holds and what doesn’t: the embroidery that is most completely the embroidery when it is most completely the craft that the destruction makes most completely visible by being the destruction that surrounds it. Black is the color in which the distressed destroyed embroidery is most completely itself — the specific depth that makes the worn fabric most completely the worn fabric (the black that has been worked on until the black is most completely the black that carries the specific quality that only the working-on of the black can produce) and makes the embroidered logo most completely the embroidered logo (the specific craft that is most completely the craft when it is most completely the thing that the black destruction makes most completely visible by being the black destruction that surrounds it). The spine is what holds you upright when everything around you has been worn down. The embroidery is what holds the logo together when the fabric around it has been destroyed. Vertabrae is the brand that knows the difference between what breaks and what doesn’t.

Why You'll Love It

• ✦ Vertabrae — the brand named after what holds when everything else breaks — not the aspiration (what the brand wants to project), not the image (what the brand wants you to carry), but the structure: the vertebrae (spelled Vertabrae — the brand’s own deviation from the standard that names its own relationship to the spine without being the textbook’s spelling) — the bones most completely themselves when most completely the structure the body cannot stand without — the most structurally honest brand name in streetwear: the thing that holds you upright
• ✦ Distressed Destroyed — the fabric taken to the limit of what the conditions can do — not just worn (the fabric that has been in the conditions long enough to carry the quality only the conditions produce), but destroyed: the fabric taken past the worn to the specific condition that names the limit — the most honest Vertabrae finish: the fabric most completely itself when most completely the thing that has been most completely worked on by the conditions that test what holds and what doesn’t
• ✦ Embroidered Logo — the craft that holds when the fabric around it has been destroyed — the needle and thread most completely the craft when most completely the thing the destruction cannot reach: the specific precision that remains when everything around it has been worn and destroyed — the most tensioned Vertabrae statement: the embroidery on the destroyed fabric, the spine on the body that has been through the conditions, the structure that holds when everything around it has been worked on
• ✦ Distressed Destroyed + Embroidered — the maximum craft tension — Destroyed (the fabric taken to the limit: the conditions working on the surface until the surface is most completely the thing that has been most completely worked on) + Embroidered (the craft that holds: the precision that is most completely the precision when most completely the thing that the destruction makes visible by surrounding it) — the most philosophically complete Vertabrae statement: the destruction and the craft in the same garment, the thing that breaks and the thing that doesn’t in the same surface
• ✦ Black — the color that makes both the destruction and the craft most completely visible — the depth that makes the worn fabric most completely the worn fabric (the black worked on until it carries the quality only the working-on produces) and makes the embroidered logo most completely the logo (the craft most completely visible when the black destruction surrounds it) — the most dramatically complete Vertabrae colorway: the color in which the spine and the destruction are most completely themselves at the same time
• ✦ The complete Vertabrae philosophy in one garment — Name (Vertabrae: the spine, the structure that holds) + Finish (Distressed Destroyed: the conditions that test what holds) + Craft (Embroidered Logo: the thing that holds when everything around it has been destroyed) + Color (Black: the depth that makes both the destruction and the craft most completely visible) — the most complete single streetwear argument: the brand that knows the difference between what breaks and what doesn’t
• ✦ True-to-size fit — available in S, M, L, XL
