Marble Portrait Zip-Up Hoodie

 The Sunman – Guardian of the Orchard Mind
Zip-Up Fleece Hoodie — Artworks that Work Edition
By Siphiwe Ngwenya

This zip-up fleece hoodie brings a quiet, artful presence to an everyday essential. Featuring The Sunman – Guardian of the Orchard Mind on both the front and back, the monochrome portrait appears textured and sketch-like — subtle, slightly mysterious, and reflective. It reads like a page from a personal notebook rather than a graphic, inviting closer attention without demanding it.

Anchored in Siphiwe Ngwenya’s Artworks that Work philosophy, this piece treats clothing as a lived surface for storytelling. The Sunman’s steady gaze and botanical undertones speak to memory, cultivation, and inner clarity, making this hoodie a companion for moments that favor presence over performance.

Warm yet breathable, the 80/20 cotton–poly fleece feels soft against the skin while maintaining structure through repeated wear. The jersey-lined hood, ribbed cuffs, and waistband help the garment keep its shape, while refined details — metal eyelets and a kissing zipper — add understated polish. It’s a dependable layer for slow mornings, gallery nights, or quiet walks where comfort and meaning move together.

Every purchase contributes to the broader Townships Into Towns public arts vision, supporting ethical production, creative infrastructure, and long-term community empowerment. This hoodie participates in a living system where art continues to work through daily use.

Material Integrity & Considered Construction

Crafted from a warm 80% cotton / 20% polyester fleece with a substantial 8.5 oz weight, this hoodie balances softness with durability. Double-needle stitching across all seams reinforces longevity, while the jersey-lined hood enhances comfort. Ribbed cuffs and waistband retain form over time, and metal eyelets paired with a kissing zipper complete the garment with practical refinement.
