About Quba
Design
Practical and easy to wear, hoodies and sweat tops remain a modern wardrobe essential. Designed for a comfortable, easy fit, Quba hoodies come in a wide spectrum of seasonal colours, pre-washed for softness and a gently 'lived-in' look. Many of our hoodies and sweats feature hand-painted graphics, for which the design team drew inspiration from the typefaces and images used on vintage nautical packaging. Available in several styles, such as pull-on, zip-fastening or smock, Quba hoodies are useful, comfortable and will go on improving with age.
Production
Each of our hoodies and sweats must undergo a series of pre-treatments, from careful laundering to brushing and (in some cases) special fading techniques; we recently added a further step to the manufacturing process to ensure that all our jersey garments are now double-laundered for softness. Produced to our designers' exact specifications, each of our hoodies and sweats is carefully constructed and then enhanced with just the right amount of detail; the vintage-inspired graphics are hand-painted by two highly talented artists. Every garment is then checked for quality before being packaged and sold.
Materials
Finding the best quality cotton and cotton-blend jersey for our hoodies and sweats is of the utmost importance. Having been through our rigorous pre-laundering and brushing processes, each garment must achieve the highest standards of softness and comfort, whether it is a heavyweight jersey winter sweat or a lighter, looser-fitting smock-style hoodie. As ever, subtle detailing lifts these garments out of the ordinary; tiny appliquéd logo patches on hood drawstrings, horn buttons, leather zip pulls and embroidered motifs are all designed in-house and carefully sourced.
