The Aime Leon Dore Chain Stitch Hoodie in Black is one of the more premium feeling hoodies in the ALD lineup. What sets it apart is the chain stitch embroidery on both the front and back. The front keeps things minimal with a small cursive script embroidered on the left chest area. The back is the real showpiece. “Mulberry Street” is stitched across the upper back in an elegant script, followed by a large “Aime Leon Dore” in bold cursive chain stitch below it, and “New York” at the bottom. The chain stitch technique gives the lettering a raised, textured feel that you can see and feel when you run your hand across it. This is not a printed graphic that will crack or fade. It is actual embroidery stitched into the fabric, which adds both durability and a handcrafted quality that printed hoodies simply cannot match.

The hoodie is built on heavyweight cotton fleece with a soft brushed interior. The relaxed fit gives you room through the body without feeling oversized. Ribbed cuffs and hem hold their shape well and keep everything looking clean after multiple wears and washes. The all black base makes the white embroidery pop hard, and the overall look is something that works just as well at dinner as it does walking around the city.

This piece pairs naturally with dark ALD collaboration sneakers for a tonal outfit. Add a matching cap to complete the look. If you need help with sizing, check our size guide. For tips on caring for chain stitch embroidery, visit the care guide.
