Wolf Head Pattern Jacket

Faces that carry across a clearing

Wolves settle most of their disagreements with expression alone. Pale fur around the muzzle and darker markings around the eyes make the direction of a gaze easy to follow from far off, so a look lands before anything else needs to happen. The bared head drawn here works on the same principle, strong contrast first and fine detail second.

Where the snarl comes from

A drawn lip and a wrinkled muzzle belong to a language of display. Wolves depend on cooperative hunting and shared rearing of pups, and an injured shoulder can cost a hunter a whole season, so the face is asked to do the work that teeth would otherwise do. Artists have borrowed that look for centuries, from carved beasts on Norse timber to modern graphic prints, because it reads as intensity rather than threat. That is the expression the artwork takes, and it holds its force at any scale.

There is more on how a pack talks to itself in the organisation of the wolf pack.

Cotton in, polyester out

The jacket is hooded, thick and warm, with organic cotton on the inside, polyester on the outside and a reinforced exterior zip. It washes at 30 degrees. The cut comes up small, so take the size above your usual one and compare it with the apparel size chart. Related pieces are gathered in wolf hoodie.
