Unisex Hoodie

From the Sunshine Coast Studio

The designs on this website are a piece of digital alchemy, born on the Sunshine Coast, BC. Every design I create is intended to be a wearable amulet. I begin with symbolic foundations—often layered 15 or more times—to ensure that when you put this on, you aren't just wearing a garment; you are wearing an intention of strength and personal sovereignty.

Original design by Nilay Carlson, crafted on the Sunshine Coast, BC. 

— Rendered without apology.

Extending the Studio: My Partners in Craft

To bring my layered digital compositions to life, I have carefully selected two global partners who specialize in All-Over Printing (AOP)—the only technology that allows my art to wrap entirely around the body or furniture without apology.

• My Apparel & Essentials: Fulfilled via Printful, chosen for their ability to merge high-performance all-over printing with everyday durability.

• My Bespoke & Home Collection: Fulfilled via Contrado (UK), selected for their artisan-level craftsmanship on complex textiles and furniture.

I treat these partnerships as an extension of my studio tools—selected specifically to ensure the 'amulet' you receive is exactly as I rendered it.

THE USURPER | Forest Edition

• The Vibe: Command the room without saying a word. This isn't just a hoodie; it’s a statement of power. Featuring a shattered gold-leaf lion—the ultimate symbol of a ruler who broke the mold to take the crown.

• Design Details:

  • Front: Intricate shattered-wireframe Lion in metallic gold.

  • Back: Vertical "USURPER" branding in high-fashion spaced typography.

  • Sleeve: Signature sleeve hit for a modern streetwear silhouette.

• The Color: Set against our deep Midnight Forest green—a shade designed to make the gold pop with a royal shimmer.

The Design Philosophy: "Chaos in Order"

• The Canvas: We chose a base of Forest Green. It represents the untamed wilderness where the Usurper gathers their strength before emerging into the light.

• The Gilded Fractures: The lion’s mane is rendered in Shattered Gold Leaf. The "wireframe" aesthetic represents the blueprint of a new era—modern, technical, yet undeniably royal.

• The Mark of Authority: The word USURPER climbs the spine and guards the sleeve in wide-tracked, high-fashion typography. It is a warning to the world: I am here, and I have rewritten the rules.

The Experience

When you pull on the Usurper Hoodie, you aren't just wearing a garment; you are donning a mantle. The heavy-weight fleece provides a structured, armor-like silhouette, while the gold accents catch the light with every movement, flickering like a torch in a dark cathedral.

It is designed for the leader who is unafraid to be a rebel. For the one who knows that to truly lead, one must first have the courage to stand apart.

The Sovereign Details

• The Front: The "Fractured King" emblem—a masterclass in gold-leaf texture and geometric precision.

• The Spine: Vertical "USURPER" branding, spaced for maximum visual authority.

• The Sleeve: A signature "left-hand hit," ensuring the brand is visible even when the world only sees your profile.

• The Palette: A regal contrast of 24K Gold on Forest Green.

Material

USURPER hoodie is made of:

• Face Fabric: 100% Cotton. This is why your gold lion looks so sharp; the "face" of the fabric is tightly woven cotton, which prevents the ink from soaking into the polyester "fuzz."

• Overall Blend: 65% Ring-Spun Cotton / 35% Polyester. * Weight: 8.5 oz/yd² (288.2 g/m²). This is a "mid-to-heavyweight" hoodie. It’s thick enough to feel like a luxury garment but breathable enough to wear year-round.

• Interior: 3-end fleece. This means the inside has a very soft, "brushed" feel that stays cozy after multiple washes.

Forged in Premium Comfort

• The Surface: The Usurper is printed on a 100% cotton-faced canvas, ensuring the shattered gold-leaf detail remains crisp, vibrant, and durable.

• The Build: Featuring a 3-end fleece lining and a 65/35 luxury blend, this hoodie offers a structured, heavy-weight silhouette that holds its shape while providing an ultra-soft interior feel.

• The Details: Finished with silver-tipped flat drawstrings and a 3-panel hood, every element is designed for a sovereign fit.

Care Instructions

Because this is a high-cotton blend with a detailed gold print, you should provide these instructions to your customers to protect the "USURPER" text and lion:

• Wash: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors.

• Dry: Tumble dry low or hang dry (recommended) to keep the gold texture from over-heating.

• Iron: Never iron directly over the gold lion or the "USURPER" text.

Statement

"The throne was never empty; it was simply waiting for someone brave enough to take it. Wear the fracture. Claim the crown."
