Pre-orders for my Official GP Smiley sweats and hoodies close tonight, Sunday 29th November. If you want your hoodie or sweatshirt before Christmas, that means you need to get your order in today via my website Store. Any orders placed after today can’t be guaranteed for delivery before Christmas.
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. 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 and is also 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.
The sweats and hoodies are each available in four different colour combinations and I hope you like them as much as I do.
I’ve also just launched the Official GP Smiley classic enamel badge which is 20mm in diameter and 1.2mm thick with a raised black logo and butterfly clutch fitting. It comes in a branded gift box with a black velvet covered foam cushion. You can pre-order now for delivery from the 7th December.
Don’t forget that my t-shirts are still available in regular or women’s fit as well as a mug all bearing my Official GP Smiley logo. Everything is available to order from my store.
Thanks for your support and I hope I can see you all in person on a dance floor in 2021.
