I’m excited to announce that The Official GP Smiley sweats and hoodies are here and available to pre-order now for delivery from 7th December from my website Store.

After I launched my new t-shirt designs in the summer, lots of you asked if I was planning to offer sweats and hoodies, so I decided to do so, and the results are here after several weeks of research. I wanted to offer items that I’d wear myself and getting the design and quality right were important to me which is why it’s taken me quite a while to get the new items online. After ordering samples and trying out different design options I’ve finally decided on a simple embroidered logo on the left chest of the sweatshirt and a larger embroidered logo on the centre of the hoodie.

The sweatshirt is a simple, classic design and is an 80% cotton and 20% polyester mix. I did try out 100% cotton and a 50/50 cotton/polyester mix, but after several washes and lots of wear, the 80/20 blend was the best option in my opinion. It kept its shape and feels soft with a light, fleece-like inside. With a crew neckline and drop shoulder that features the Official Graeme Park Smiley Logo subtly embroidered on the left chest, the soft cotton faced fabric has a taped neck, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem as well as twin needle stitching. The sweatshirt will also have a bespoke Graeme Park logo printed inside. I’m usually a medium in sweatshirts but this was such a snug fit that I’ll be choosing the large instead once they are made up. The exact size measurements are listed online, so please check carefully before ordering.

The hoodie has a larger logo but is still a classic design. It’s a 60% pre shrunk ring spun combed cotton and 40% polyester mix (apart from the charcoal which is 50/50) and has a taped neck, front pouch pocket, double fabric hood with single jersey hood lining for extra comfort and self-coloured cord. This super soft luxurious feel hooded sweatshirt has Lycra ribbed cuffs and welt with a brushed effect for superior comfort. Featuring the Official Graeme Park Smiley Logo embroidered across the centre and twin needle stitching, this reactive dyed hoodie has been enzyme washed for extra soft hand-feel and reduced shrinkage. The hoodie will also come with a bespoke Graeme Park logo printed on theinside. It fits true to size and the exact size measurements are listed online, so please check carefully before ordering.

As I’m not a clothing manufacturer or designer and because my main income from DJing and live shows has disappeared since March, I’m not in the position to get lots of sweats and hoodies made up in advance which is why I’m selling these as pre-orders with items being shipped to you week commencing 7th December. if you’re planning on getting these before Christmas, please order now to avoid disappointment because any future runs after this one won’t be delivered until early next year.

I’ve tried to keep the pricing sensible and competitive with the sweat coming in at £40.00 and the hoodie at £45.00. This is generally less than similar items that other club and music brands charge over £50.00 for.

The sweats and hoodies are each available in four different colour combinations and I hope you like them as much as I do. Don’t forget that my t-shirts are still available as well as a mug all bearing my Official GP Smiley logo.
