Comfortable and interesting are not supposed to be opposites!

Just imagine pulling on something as easy as your oldest sweatshirt that happens to be covered in a swirling painted scene. Now stop imagining, because the Helen is both at once. A little camper van sits at the centre of a forest of pines, under a sky of spiralling gold, violet and teal that looks like it came off a painter's canvas. It is a soft hooded pullover, and it is very hard to take off once it is on.

• A Scene, Not A Slogan
  The artwork covers the whole piece: swirling sky, dark pines, a hand-painted van and ribbons of color curling around the hem. Nothing is printed across the chest in letters. It reads as personality rather than merchandise.
• Soft Right Away
  The fabric has a brushed, quilted feel with no stiffness to break in, so it is comfortable from the first wearing. It warms up fast and stays cosy. Exactly what a hoodie should do.
• Hood And Drawstring
  A full hood with a soft cord that pulls in when the wind comes up and loosens the moment you are inside. It lies flat against your back when it is down. Easy on and off over your head.
• Covered Arms, Ribbed Cuffs
  Long sleeves finishing in a ribbed cuff that keeps the warmth in and the draft out. Your arms are covered to the wrist. Push them up and they stay.
• Relaxed And Forgiving
  Cut easy through the body with a ribbed hem at the hip, so it skims instead of clinging and gives you room to layer underneath. Sitting, driving and walking all stay comfortable. Nothing pulls across the back.

If part of you worries a hoodie looks too casual for the errands you actually run, the artwork is what settles it — this one looks chosen rather than thrown on. Wear it with dark jeans and good shoes and it holds up anywhere you are going. It becomes the piece that lives on the back of the chair because it is never away long enough to be put properly.
