The hoodie that we dyed and printed on is made of durable, high-quality 13.5oz/450gm 3-End cotton fabric, and is made to prevent shrinkage during the dying process and in the future. It also features cotton ribbing at the cuffs, waistband, and side panel for comfort and stretch.

In Japanese culture, animals and birds are represented throughout history in both artwork and legend. In a well-known Japanese proverb, Tsuru (Crane) and Kame (Turtle) represent longevity. Also, the literal Japanese translation of Sho Chiku Bai is "pine, bamboo, plum." Together they represent the "Three Friends of Winter," illustrating promise and good fortune in the form of pure spirit (plum), longevity (pine), and flexibility (bamboo).
