Unisex fit, true to size, S to 5XL. Heavyweight fleece hoodie.

People are not cargo. Vigils outside detention sites often happen at night, in the cold, with candles and names read aloud. The point is simple: the people inside are human beings with families, and someone outside is keeping watch.

If you are planning what to wear to a night vigil or winter protest, a heavy hoodie is essential. It fits the candlelight vigil, the rapid response call that comes at dawn, and the march where hundreds of people fill the street.

It is a Gildan Heavy Blend hooded sweatshirt, 8 oz of 50/50 cotton and polyester, with a double-lined hood, a matching drawcord, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a front pouch pocket to shield a candle lighter from the wind. The ink is printed into the fleece.

The hoodie is unisex and relaxed, true to size S through 5XL in Black, Sand, Sport Grey and White; two up gives a roomy layer. Also as a tee and a sweatshirt. More on detention and human rights is on our human rights explainer.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

How can I find a vigil near a detention site? Local immigrant rights groups and faith communities often organize vigils and post details on their social media pages.

Is this hoodie warm enough for a night vigil? Yes. Thick fleece and a lined hood keep you warm through a candlelight vigil that runs past midnight.

Which color is best for night events? White and Sand stand out best in low light.

Is there a tee option? Yes. The tee and crewneck are linked on this page.

Wear it to: the march, the vigil, the courthouse steps, the town hall.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
