Lion of Judah Hoodies Guide
The Lion Spirit artwork is the signature design of the Couture line. It's a hand-drawn Lion of Judah where the body of the lion is composed of Hebrew letters. From across a room it reads as a lion. Up close, it reads as text. The hoodie line carries the same artwork the t-shirts and denim jackets do, but with raised embroidery instead of print.
The two pieces
| Piece | Price | Cut | Construction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lion Spirit Embroidered Sweatshirt | $180 | Unisex crewneck | Heavyweight cotton, raised embroidery on chest |
| Lion Spirit Letterform Hoodie — Men's Edition | $220 | Men's hood | Heavyweight cotton, raised embroidery |
The crewneck and the hoodie are the same fabric. The difference is the hood and the cut. Buyers who already own the t-shirt usually go to the embroidered sweatshirt next, then the hoodie. The hoodie also pairs with the Meron denim jacket for layering.
What buyers ask
Q: Is the lion printed or embroidered?
A: Embroidered. The thread is raised, not flat. The artwork is built up in stitching, so the lion has texture. You can see the Hebrew letterforms when you look closely.
Q: What weight is the cotton?
A: Heavyweight. Heavier than a standard mall hoodie. The piece holds its shape and the embroidery sits on a structured base. It is not a thin, drape-y hoodie.
Q: Is it unisex?
A: The crewneck sweatshirt is cut unisex. The hoodie has men's and women's editions. See the men's chart and women's chart for measurements.
Q: How long does it take to ship?
A: Each piece is made to order in the Israeli atelier. Standard turnaround is 10 to 14 days after the order is placed. If you need a piece by a date, mention it in the order notes or email the atelier.
Q: How do I know if it will fit?
A: Check the men's chart or women's chart. If you are between sizes or unsure, use the chat in the corner of the site. The team will walk you through the cut and the fit on the specific piece.

How to choose
- If you live somewhere cold. Pick the hoodie. The hood is functional. Layer it under the Meron denim jacket for winter.
- If you live somewhere warm or in-between. The embroidered sweatshirt is more flexible. Wear it alone in spring and fall, layer it in winter.
- If this is your first Couture piece. Start with the t-shirt at $120. Get the fit and the feel before going to embroidery.
- If this is a gift. The embroidered sweatshirt is the most-given piece. It feels like a substantial gift without committing to the full denim collection.
