The brand
Two people and one sewing partner
Northbound started in 2019 when Iman Cole and Rico Bautista could not find a hoodie heavy enough to survive a decade. We design in a studio on 7th Street and cut and sew with a family-run shop in the same neighborhood. Runs are small because we pay for the fabric up front, not because scarcity is a marketing tactic.
•Cut and sewn in Los Angeles, factory visits by appointment
•Every garment weighed and spec'd on the product page
•Free repairs on seams and hardware for two years
Reviews
What buyers say
“Three years of near daily wear and the hoodie has not pilled or lost shape. It is the only one I own now.”
Trey W., Heavyweight hoodie, 2022 drop
“I ordered the chore jacket a size up on their advice and it fits exactly like the photos. Their sizing notes are actually accurate.”
Marisol D., Chore jacket
“A snap popped off my jacket and they replaced it free, no receipt hunt, just sent it in.”

FAQ
Sizing, shipping and drops
How does the fit run?
Boxy and true to a relaxed fit. If you want a standard fit, take your usual size. If you want it slim, size down one. Every product page lists the flat measurements of the actual sample and the height and size of the model wearing it.
When is the next drop and do you restock?
We drop the first Friday of each month at 10am Pacific. We do not restock sold-out colorways, though core pieces like the hoodie return in new colors most seasons. Join the drop list and you get the lineup and prices 48 hours early.
What is your return policy?
Unworn items with tags on can be returned within 30 days for a full refund, and exchanges ship free within the US. We include a prepaid label with every US order because sizing boxy garments by photo is genuinely hard.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, to about 40 countries. Shipping is calculated at checkout and typically runs 7 to 14 days. Duties and import taxes are not included in the price and are collected by your carrier on delivery.
