KISW first hit the airwaves on January 18, 1950, as a 2,100-watt station featuring classical music. In 1969, new ownership briefly shifted it to a Top 40 format, but by 1971 it embraced progressive rock—then considered “underground”—inspired by stations like KMPX and KSAN in San Francisco. By the mid-1970s, broadcasting at 68,000 watts, KISW evolved into an album-oriented hard rock station. Focusing on the biggest-selling records from top rock artists proved to be the defining move, cementing its reputation as the home of “Seattle’s Best Rock.”
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature 'relic-ing' process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on super soft Gildan 18500 hoodies via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can't be accomplished with other printing methods. With a large front pouch pocket and drawstrings in a matching color, this hoodie is soft, stylish, and a perfect mid-weight for laying in cooler weather or keeping the chill off during summer nights at the beach.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our hoodies are made using premium, preshrunk cotton/poly blends, there can be some slight shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you're on the fence or just want to be able to layer over various shirts, we always suggest going up a size as hoodies are meant to be a little on the big side 😎
