Octopus Lightweight Hoodie
“She Doesn’t Fear the Deep — She Owns It.”
Hand-drawn design by Gail Ringrose | Republic of 253 Collection
There’s something about Tacoma at night — when the tide pulls hard, the wind cuts through the Port, and the full moon lights up Commencement Bay. That’s when she moves. Silently. Slowly. Powerfully.
This hoodie pays tribute to the Giant Pacific Octopus — the original deepwater queen of the Puget Sound. Stories say she lives beneath the Narrows Bridge. But when the ferry pulls away from Vashon on its last run of the night, keep your eyes on the water. You might see her. Just once.
Hand-drawn by Tacoma artist Gail Ringrose, this design wraps mystery, motion, and mythology into a bold silhouette that lives best on soft fleece.
This isn’t just a hoodie. It’s a tribute to local legend. A wearable tale from the shadows of the Sound.
Heavyweight. Limited drop. No restocks.
Just like the octopus — she surfaces when she wants to.
