420 GSM Heavyweight French Terry Full-Zip Hoodie | STRATA MX Signature
420 GSM organic cotton French terry. Architectural Boxy fit. Adjustable lined hood. Silver separating zipper. Peached outer face.
A 420 GSM French terry full-zip hoodie made to wear closed, partly open, or fully unzipped over a T-shirt. STRATA MX Signature combines dense organic cotton with face-only Triple Carbon Peach, giving the exterior a fine, softly peached finish while the integral loopback reverse stays unbrushed.
The silver one-way separating zipper opens the front completely. An adjustable double-layer hood pairs the French terry outer with lighter organic cotton jersey inside. A garment-matched braided cotton drawcord runs through matching fabric-finished exits, with smooth silver capped metal tips. Two separate front patch pockets each have an angled hand opening and their own pocket space.
Generous chest room, dropped shoulders, and full-length set-in sleeves create the Architectural Boxy silhouette. The body is not cropped; 7 cm ribbed cuffs and hem finish the edges. Controlled STRATA washing brings subtle depth to Burnt Umber and Dark Earth, with raised white tiger-head embroidery on both colors.
Pair it with denim or straight-leg pants for an open-front layer among our heavyweight essentials.

The outer face and loopback reverse are knitted together as one French terry fabric, not bonded as separate layers. Triple Carbon Peach is applied to the outside only. The hood has a separate, lighter jersey lining; the body does not. Its silver zipper has one working slider and separates fully at the base.
MX Signature and BX Armor share the same Architectural Boxy full-zip hoodie pattern: generous chest room, dropped shoulders, full-length set-in sleeves, and a non-cropped body. Both use the same finished measurements. The separating front zipper, adjustable hood, and two independent pockets belong to this full-zip construction.
Our size labels are intentionally generous. Start with the body-chest guide, then compare a zip-up hoodie you own with the finished measurements below. At a boundary between sizes, use your preferred proportions and layering needs rather than assuming a universal size conversion.

How to Measure
Measurement
How to measure
Body chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape level and relaxed. This is a body circumference, not a flat garment width.
Half chest
Fully close the zipper and lay the hoodie flat, with the hem level. Measure straight across 2.5 cm vertically below the underarm intersections.
Body length
Move the hood clear. Measure from the high shoulder point at the shoulder/neck join straight down to the finished bottom edge, parallel to the closed zipper. Include the full hem rib; do not include the hood.
Shoulder width
Measure straight across the back between the shoulder-to-sleeve seam intersections.
Sleeve length
Measure from the shoulder-to-sleeve seam intersection along the top sleeve fold to the finished cuff edge, including the complete cuff. Do not use a raglan or center-back-neck measurement.
Measure the garment dry and relaxed, without stretching the body or ribs. Compare the zipped-up chest and body dimensions before deciding how much room you prefer for layering.
For additional guidance, see our Size & Fit Guide.
STRATA gives this heavyweight French terry a different color expression. A controlled wash introduces subtle tonal depth rather than aggressive acid washing or heavy distressing.
Color
Appearance
Chest embroidery
Burnt Umber
Warm, oxidized orange-brown with restrained washed depth.
White contrast
Dark Earth
Deep brown with controlled tonal variation.
White contrast
Both colors feature raised white tiger-head embroidery on the left chest.
The color name identifies the garment shade, not the embroidery color.
Our full-zip hoodie quality standard applies to the finished French terry and the assembled garment, including the zipper, adjustable hood, cord exits, metal tips, pockets, and rib interfaces.
The table lists required performance criteria, not individual measured results for every color, size, or production lot.

The standard also covers smooth one-way zipper operation, complete front separation, and balanced front edges with the garment closed.
Drawcord exits and capped tips must remain secure, each pocket must retain its own usable opening and cavity, and seams, ribs, and embroidery must retain their required function after care. Verification applies to the completed garment with its final zipper and hood hardware installed.
Care step
Instruction
Wash
Machine wash cold, maximum 30°C / 86°F, on a gentle cycle. Turn inside out and wash with similar colors. Wash dark colors separately.
Bleach
Do not bleach.
Dry
Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape and line dry in the shade without stretching the neck or shoulders.
Iron
Use low heat on the reverse only if permitted by the garment care label. Avoid direct heat or pressure on the embroidery and, on MX, the peached outer face.
For washing, drying, and ironing, follow the care label attached to your full-zip hoodie. Its instructions apply to the complete garment, including the French terry shell, organic cotton jersey hood lining, rib trims, zipper, drawcord, metal tips, and embroidery.
Do not use the laboratory methods in the quality table as home-care instructions.
Two surface finishes, one Architectural Boxy full-zip hoodie fit. Both series use 420 GSM organic cotton three-end French terry with an unbrushed integral loopback reverse.

Choose it for
A softer, peached outer surface
The natural definition of an unbrushed cotton face
Choose by the outer surface you prefer. Both can be worn zipped, partly open, or fully separated. Neither uses a two-way zipper or a shared kangaroo pocket, and MX peaching does not turn the loopback reverse into brushed fleece.
Question
Answer
How is STRATA MX different from STRATA BX?
Both share the same Architectural Boxy full-zip pattern, finished measurements, adjustable hood, zipper, pockets, and rib construction. MX has face-only Triple Carbon Peach for a softer outer surface; BX keeps the face unbrushed. The loopback reverse remains unbrushed in both.
Is the zipper two-way?
No. It is a silver one-way separating zipper with one working slider. You can wear the hoodie fully zipped, partly unzipped from the top, or completely open. It does not have a second slider for opening from the bottom while the top remains closed.
Is the whole hoodie lined?
No. The body’s inside is the integral loopback reverse of the French terry. Only the hood has a separate, color-matched organic cotton single-jersey lining at 220–260 GSM.
Do the front pockets share one pouch?
No. There are two separate angled-entry patch pockets, one on each side of the zipper. Each opening leads into its own pocket cavity, unlike the shared kangaroo pouch on our Pullover Hoodie.
