I Start Looking for Parking at Four: Truck Driver Hoodie

Truck parking runs out. It is a documented national shortage rather than a grievance, and the practical effect is that the legal overnight spots are gone by evening. So a driver with hours left on his clock stops driving and starts hunting instead, and he gives up paid miles to do it. The small line underneath says the rest: they are all gone by seven.

Read from outside, this is a man who is neurotic about being early. People find it endearing, they are certain it is about a concert or a restaurant, and the second line deepens the misread rather than rescuing them. That is the lockup doing its job.

Set as a shift plan with STOPPED WITH HOURS REMAINING underneath, which is the unglamorous true version of the same sentence. It is bought by the family who has watched this habit for years without ever having it explained.

What it is

• Unisex heavy blend hoodie, 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²)
• 50% pre-shrunk cotton, 50% polyester, spun from air-jet yarn, which is what makes it feel soft and keeps it from pilling
• Double-lined hood with a matching drawcord, and a front pouch pocket
• 1x1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex, and double-needle stitching at the collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs and hem
• Quarter-turned body, cut that way so there is no crease down the middle
• Sizes S through 3XL
• Eleven colors. Four light ones printed in near black ink, seven dark ones printed in cream

How it is made

Custom printed in the USA. Every hoodie is printed here, one at a time, on a heavyweight fleece blank woven overseas.

Nothing is printed until you order it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets thrown away.

Getting it to you

Free US shipping on orders $45 and up. Under that it is a flat $8.00. We make it after you order it, which takes 2 to 5 business days, and it then takes 3 to 4 business days to reach you from a US facility. Most orders arrive in 5 to 9 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the label is created.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print.

The White colorway

White on this hoodie reads as a soft off-white rather than a bright white. That is the blended fabric doing it, and it is expected rather than a fault.
