The koi that swims against the current becomes the dragon.
The story behind ASCEND.

— ASCEND · The Koi —
The daily grind of pushing uphill when everything pushes back.
The current does not stop.
Neither do you.
Two koi spiral upward in a yin-yang circle on the back of a 380 GSM hoodie. Their scales are outlined in raised embossing — the black embossed lines create a stained-glass grid across every scale and fin. Interior orange bodies are printed in soft halftone screen. The water surrounding them is rendered in cool blue halftone, with cherry blossom petals scattered through the composition.
The current is the obstacle. The koi are the answer. Two textures, one composition: flat printed color inside every embossed outline. The hand feel tells you exactly what element you are touching.
All GRITMONK hoodies are cut for an oversized fit. If you are between sizes, size down for a modern silhouette or take your usual size for the intended oversized drop.
Measurements are laid flat. Tolerance +/- 1 cm.
