Dolly Noire Hoodie Kuniyoshi SW170-SA-01 Black Japan

Men's Dolly Noire Kuniyoshi Hoodie - Italian Streetwear Inspired by Japanese Culture

The Dolly Noire Kuniyoshi SW170-SA-01 hoodie in black is a masterpiece of Italian streetwear that blends traditional Japanese culture with contemporary urban design. Inspired by the samurai, ninja, and ukiyo-e art of master Utagawa Kuniyoshi, this hoodie combines Made in Italy quality, high-quality screen prints, and a unique aesthetic that celebrates ancient Japanese culture in a modern key.

Kuniyoshi Inspiration: Japanese Art on Streetwear

The name Kuniyoshi pays homage to Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861), one of the greatest masters of Japanese ukiyo-e, famous for his prints of samurai, warriors, mythological creatures, and epic scenes. Dolly Noire reinterprets this artistic tradition with screen prints that recall samurai, ninja, dragon, wave, and other Japanese cultural themes. The result is a hoodie that is not just clothing, but a wearable work of art that tells stories of honor, courage, and tradition.

Front and Back Screen Print: Artisanal Quality

The screen print is applied to both the front and back of the hoodie, creating a 360° design that captures attention. Screen printing is an artisanal technique that guarantees vivid colors, sharp details, and long-lasting durability. The prints resist frequent washing without fading, cracking, or peeling. Black is the perfect base color to highlight the colorful details of the Japanese print, creating a powerful and recognizable visual contrast.

70% Cotton 30% Polyester 320gsm Composition: Comfort and Durability

The 70% cotton and 30% polyester fabric with a weight of 320gsm is the perfect blend of natural comfort and technical durability. Cotton provides softness, breathability, and a pleasant feel against the skin. Polyester adds wear resistance, maintains shape after washing, and reduces shrinkage. The 320gsm weight (grams per square meter) indicates a medium-high weight fabric: warm enough for autumn/winter but not excessively heavy, ideal for layering or as an outer garment in mid-seasons.

Made in Italy: Quality and Craftsmanship

Made in Italy means rigorous quality control, reinforced stitching, selected materials, and attention to detail. Dolly Noire produces in Italy to guarantee high standards and support local craftsmanship. Each hoodie is carefully crafted, from the stitching to the prints, to last over time and withstand the intense daily use typical of streetwear.

Regular Streetwear Fit: Comfort and Style

The regular fit is comfortable without being extremely oversized: it follows the body's lines without constricting, allowing freedom of movement. The hood is wide and adjustable with a drawstring, the front kangaroo pocket is spacious and functional. The cuffs and hem are elasticated to retain warmth and ensure a fit that stays in place. The cut is designed for layering: you can wear t-shirts, thermal shirts, or shirts underneath without feeling restricted.

Sizes and Fit

Available in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL, the Dolly Noire hoodie has a regular fit. Your usual size is recommended for a classic streetwear fit. If you prefer a more oversized look or want to wear heavy layers underneath, consider going up one size. The fabric has a slight natural elasticity that adapts to the body while maintaining its original shape.
