The Craft of Comfort: Heritage Sportswear, Reimagined
At Ivy Ellis, our approach to everyday staples begins with the same principle that guides our socks: quality first. The hoodies and sweatshirts in this collection are crafted with care in Philadelphia, using responsibly sourced cotton grown in the heart of North Carolina. Each piece pays homage to the authentic roots of American athletic wear while being refined for modern life.
The Tulane Hoodie and Marquette Sweatshirt are inspired by the golden era of collegiate sportswear, when garments were built to perform under pressure and endure season after season. With their heavyweight cotton construction, reinforced seams, and soft brushed interiors, these pieces represent the kind of craftsmanship that stands apart from disposable fashion. Every stitch, cuff, and hem is designed to balance form and function—practical enough for sport, refined enough for everyday wear.
While Philadelphia is known for its grit and authenticity, it’s also synonymous with a deep appreciation for heritage clothing and craftsmanship. The city’s link to sportswear runs through its culture—from stadiums and courts to neighbourhood streets. That connection lives on in these garments, each carrying a sense of purpose and pride that’s distinctly American, yet perfectly aligned with the understated aesthetic of Ivy Ellis.
Available in Navy and Heather Grey, the colour palette draws on timeless tones found throughout vintage athletic archives. These pieces pair effortlessly with denim, chinos, or layered under outerwear—designed not to follow trends but to transcend them. Whether you’re drawn to the comfort of the hoodie or the simplicity of the crewneck sweatshirt, each piece brings together heritage, quality, and the Ivy Ellis philosophy of making things properly.
In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, these garments remind us that true style comes from integrity, not excess. The Ivy Ellis hoodies and sweatshirts collection is a modern continuation of American sportswear history—crafted to last, designed to be lived in, and made with pride.
