Description
The Crooks and Castles gold Medusa hoodie carries the label's best-known face, the snake-haired Medusa, printed large in tan and gold with a bandana mask tied across her face. Under the head, a Crooks script sweeps out into a long swoosh, and a smaller ampersand and Castles finish the line. The Medusa is one of the best-known marks of Crooks and Castles and the bandana mask gives this version a more outlaw attitude than the plain head. The body is solid black from the hood to the ribbed hem, so the warm gold tones stand out cleanly, and a small woven label sits at the neck. Everything you need to choose a size is on the tan Medusa pullover in black page below.
The Bandana-Masked Medusa on the Front
The head takes up most of the chest. Snakes coil out in every direction from the top of the head, and the bandana cuts across the face in a darker band that gives the drawing its masked look. Printing it in tan and gold rather than white keeps the look warm and a little vintage.
Script, Swoosh and Ampersand
Below the head, the word Crooks is written in a cursive hand that ends in a long underline swoosh. The ampersand and Castles sit smaller to the right of the tail. Together they balance the weight of the head above.
Why the Medusa Head Matters
Of all the label's graphics, the Medusa is the one people link to it first, ahead of the chain prints and the bold lettering. Putting her in a bandana mixes that mark with the label's other favorite motif. The same masked artwork also comes without a hood: the matching gold Medusa crewneck prints it in the same tan and gold.
A Calmer Gray Alternative
Some days the gold may feel louder than you want. For those, the tone-on-tone Medusa sweatshirt prints a Medusa head in gray on black, so the shape is there but the contrast drops right down.
Fit and Features
Cut and Sizing for Everyday Wear
This is a regular-fit pullover with a full hood, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem that stops at the hips. It has enough room through the chest to wear over a tee without feeling tight. Pick your normal size from S to XXL using the sizing chart for hoodies and crews, and go up one only if you want a longer, looser fall from the shoulders.
Fabric
A Heavyweight Fleece Built for Winter
The fabric is a brushed-back fleece of around 80% cotton and 20% polyester, at roughly 480 GSM. That is heavy enough to wear without a jacket on a crisp fall day and warm enough to layer under a coat in winter. The brushed inside is soft against bare arms, and the dense outer face gives the large print a smooth surface. A tee works underneath, such as the Ruling Elite skull tee, if you want another graphic for warmer afternoons.
Materials and Care
Washing Around a Large Graphic
A print this size flexes every time the hoodie is worn, so treat it gently in the wash. Turn it inside out, use cold water, and wash with other dark colors. Let it air dry, since tumble drying can crack the tan ink across the snakes over time. If needed, iron the inside on a low setting and keep the iron off the head. Pair it with the red hoodie with Medusa sleeves if you want a brighter Medusa piece to rotate with this one.
