Look twice

From across the room, it looks like a beaded leather vest.

From a few steps away

Up close

Studs down the edges. Beadwork across the chest. Feathers on beaded drops, fringe to the hem.

Then you get closer, and it is a soft fleece pullover hoodie. Every bead, stud, feather and fringe is printed on the fabric. Nothing is sewn on, so nothing snags on a car seat or comes off in the wash.

It looks like something made for a special day. It wears like the hoodie you reach for every morning.

What inspired each design

Five designs, one road west

In 1838, U.S. troops and state militia forced more than 16,000 Cherokee people from their homelands in Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Georgia. Many traveled west through the fall and winter.National Park Service, Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, History & Culture (nps.gov/trte)

These designs are inspired by that road. Each one draws on a piece of it in the printed beadwork.

Rose Along the Trail pullover hoodie

White Cherokee roses climb the vest beside a trail of small footprints, on deep oxblood.

In a legend still told today, a white rose grew wherever the mothers’ tears fell on the trail.

Winter Pines pullover hoodie

Winter Pines

Snow-covered pines under a pale moon, on moss green.

Many of the families were still on the road west through the fall and winter.

Water Route pullover hoodie

Water Route

Turquoise river beadwork with small canoes, on warm saddle brown.

Some groups were sent west by river instead of over land.

Every Step Remembered pullover hoodie

Every Step Remembered

For the long road west, traveled by people who did not choose it.

Seven Stars pullover hoodie

Seven Stars

Seven-point stars on rust and gold beadwork, turquoise conchos, on navy.

The seven-point star is often linked to the seven Cherokee clans.

Why the set price

Here is the honest version

The ad that brought most people here costs us about the same whether you take one hoodie or three. The second and third ones cost us no extra advertising, so we pass that saving on in the price instead.

So through Monday, November 30 (11:59 pm Pacific), two hoodies are 15% off and three are 20% off. After that date the set price is gone and each hoodie is $55.99.
