Akimbo Hoodie University Of Utah – Old English

So you found the Akimbo Hoodie University of Utah – Old English. Maybe a friend had one on. Maybe you searched for Utah gear and landed here. Either way, you want to know what this hoodie is about before you spend your money. Fair enough.

I work with Akimbo Clothing. I’ve handled these hoodies. Wash them. Worn them. Answered questions about them for a long time. Let me tell you what I know.

Where This Hoodie Comes From

Akimbo Club didn’t start in some boardrooms. It started in Salt Lake City back in 2019. We were vintage resellers first. We dug through old workwear. Old sportswear. Old everything. We learned what lasts and what falls apart.

That’s still how we work. The Akimbo Hoodie University of Utah – Old English came from that same habit. We wanted a hoodie with Utah in its bones. Not a generic print. Not a copy of something else. Something with weight.

Old English lettering? Not a trend for us. Old English has history. You see it on campus buildings. Old signs. Team gear from decades back. And the University of Utah part? That’s home for a lot of people. Students. Alumni. Folks who just love the state. This hoodie speaks to them.

How It Fits

Relaxed. That’s the word. Not baggy. Not tight. Right in the middle.

Here’s what I tell people who ask:

• Want a normal fit? Order your usual size.
• Want it snug? Size down.
• Want it oversized? Size up or stay true.

The cotton fleece is heavyweight. We chose that on purpose. Light hoodies lose shape fast. This one keeps its structure. Sleeves land right. The hood keeps its shape.

Ways to Wear It

People ask me how to pair this hoodie. Here are combos that actually work.

Akimbo Sweatpants

Both pieces are relaxed. That’s the whole point. But you still want balance. Oversized hoodie? Keep the sweatpants straight. Hoodie fits close? Go wider on the bottom. It keeps the whole look from going flat.

Akimbo Jeans

Hoodie and jeans is a safe bet. Straight-leg or a little baggy. Dark denim lets the graphic lead. Light denim keeps it laid back. Either way you’re good.

Layered Under a Jacket

Denim jacket. Work coat. Bomber. All work. The hood adds texture. The graphic shows near the hem. Easy way to look put together without trying.

Akimbo Sweater on Top

Cold day? Throw a chunky knit over the hoodie. The hood sticks out back. The graphic peeks at the bottom. Sounds strange. Looks good.

Akimbo T Shirt Underneath

Warm enough? Wear the hoodie open over a plain tee. Or tie it around your waist. Either way it stays part of the fit.

Washing and Drying (Read This Part)

I’ve seen hoodies ruined in one wash. Don’t do that.

Washing

• Turn it inside out.
• Cold water only.
• Gentle cycle.
• Mild detergent.
• No fabric softener. It messes with the cotton.
• Wash it with clothes that match.
• Don’t stuff the machine.

Drying

• Hang it. Best way.
• Heat shrinks cotton. Heat fades prints.
• If you must use a dryer, lowest heat. Take it out before it’s fully dry.
• Air drying keeps the graphic sharp and the shape right.

Storing

• Fold it. Don’t hang it on wire hangers. Shoulders stretch.
• Keep it away from direct sun.
• Pile it in a drawer or on a shelf.

Common Questions

Does it run true to size?

It runs relaxed. Normal size for a standard fit. Size down for snug. Size up for oversized.

Will the graphic fade?

Mine hasn’t. Cold wash. Inside out. Hang dry. That’s all it takes.

Can I use a dryer?

I wouldn’t. Heat shrinks cotton. Fades prints. Hang it instead.

Is it unisex?

Yeah. Anyone can wear it. Sizing is standard.
