The only branding is a small embroidered logo on the front and a subtle print on the back of the hood.

- Premium Hoodie: Also unisex and true to size. Designed for a relaxed feel, so sizing up gives an oversized look.
- Polo Shirt: Slightly tailored. If they like a classic fit, stick with their normal size. If they want room, size up.
