Set at Thirty Four and It Stays There: Reefer Driver Hoodie

A refrigerated trailer runs at a temperature written on the bill of lading, commonly somewhere in the mid thirties for fresh produce and dairy. The driver does not move it to suit an opinion. If it moves, the load gets turned away at the door and the claim is his to argue about.

Everybody at home reads the thermostat. They see a man being immovable about the heating and they are absolutely sure of it. It is the warmest wrong read in this set, because it makes him sound like somebody's dad rather than somebody's employee, and it is the entire reason a non trucking relative buys it.

A round dial thermometer drawn from scratch in stipple, one ink, over a bill of lading frame. CONTINUOUS RUN, NOT CYCLE underneath is the other setting on the box, and it is a fair description of him as well.

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.
