Rising Forward Boxy Raw Edge V-Neck Hooded Jumper | MEN OF BLAZE
Product Description
Forward is not a direction. It is a decision. 🗽🌊🌸
The Rising Forward Boxy Raw Edge V-Neck Hooded Jumper brings Teddy Blaze’s cultural geography together in one heavyweight streetwear piece, moving across New York, Las Vegas, Japanese visual tradition and African symbolism without treating any of them as decoration.
The front stays deliberately restrained. A compact Teddy Blaze Rising emblem sits over the chest, built around the Gye Nyame symbol and a red, white and blue rising-sun composition.
Turn it around and the story opens.
The large back artwork builds an imagined landscape around a monumental Gye Nyame: New York architecture and the Brooklyn Bridge, Las Vegas, a Japanese crane, cherry blossoms, dramatic waves, mountain forms and torii imagery converge into one densely illustrated world. The composition is less souvenir collage and more cultural cartography, places and influences meeting inside the Teddy Blaze universe.
The garment itself carries equal weight. Made from a substantial 10.6 oz/yd² (360 g/m²) cotton-rich fabric, it combines an oversized boxy silhouette with a V-neck hood opening and raw-edge detailing, giving the jumper a less conventional shape than the standard pullover hoodie.
87% cotton keeps the hand and appearance grounded in heavyweight sportswear, while the polyester component adds structure and durability.
Rising Forward. Carry where you've been into where you're going.

Size Guide
The supplier's Chest measurement is taken flat across the garment. I've converted it to approximate full chest circumference below so nobody has to perform hoodie algebra at checkout. 😂

Fit Note
Designed for an intentionally oversized, boxy fit. The measurements above are garment measurements rather than body measurements. For the intended Teddy Blaze silhouette, choose your usual size. For a somewhat closer fit, consider sizing down after comparing the chart with a hoodie you already own.
Care Instructions
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low. Iron at low temperature, avoiding the printed artwork. Do not dry clean.
