“Step Back Was An Invitation” — Heavy Blend Unisex Pullover Hoodie

Classic relaxed unisex fit with a double-lined hood, pouch pocket and ribbed trim. 50% cotton and 50% polyester Heavy Blend fleece, 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²), made with air-jet spun yarn.

Design story & product details

The print keeps the engraver’s fine cross-hatching and the rough, dry red brush strokes, so on a heavy blend hoodie the fencer’s lunge still looks sharp. The line “That step back was an invitation.” is a fencer’s taunt: you thought I was retreating, but I was drawing you in. The blade comes straight at you past a gloved hand on the bell guard, and the scoring box already shows red.

Give it to a teenage fencer heading to their first regional tournament.
