A NOTE FROM MATTHEW
LOS ANGELES · FALL 2026
I wanted something that felt like a protective hug when everything around you does not: an eye mask that would not slip off, and a hood that actually kept me warm. Apollo X is that idea, finished. It is the first thing I pack and the last thing I take off, and most trips I am still wearing it when I walk back through my own front door.
IN TRANSIT · AT CLOSE RANGE
Six details for the way there, marked where they live on the piece.
An eye mask that stays put
Built into the hood, so it cannot slip off mid-nap. Fold it down for dark, up to wear it like a beanie.
Thumb hole cuffs
Pull the sleeves over your hands in a cold cabin, fingers still free for a book or a boarding pass.
Padded sleeves
Extra padding along the arms. Fold them against the window and you have a pillow.
Lens cloth pocket
A hidden pocket inside the front pouch, sized for a phone or sunglasses, lined in a cloth that cleans your glasses.
Warmer ears
Extra material at the ear softens the noise of the cabin and keeps cold air out.
Gravity-weight 30oz cotton
Ounces measure the weight of the cloth, and the higher the number, the denser the knit. 100% cotton, so it still breathes on a long flight.
GATE TO GATE
APOLLO X · A TRIP IN SEVEN PARTS
Out the door before sunrise. The cloth is dense enough to wear as your layer, so the bag keeps its room for something else.
Phone, keys and passport each have a place: the front pouch, the hidden pocket inside it, and two pockets at the side seams. Empty them into the tray, fill them again in a minute.
A delay, a hard chair, a long wait. Pull up the hood, let the extra material cover your ears, and let the terminal go quiet for a while.
Cabins run cold. Thumb hole cuffs keep the sleeves over your hands, and 100% cotton keeps you warm without trapping the heat.
Fold the eye mask down from the hood. It is part of the hoodie, so there is nothing to pack, nothing to lose, nothing to fish out from under the seat.
Lean into the padded sleeve. Extra padding along the arms turns the window into somewhere you can actually sleep.
Raise the mask and it sits like a beanie. Wipe your glasses on the lens cloth, and walk out looking like you slept. Because you did.
THE TRAVEL ROLL

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL IN THEM
This Hoodie is amazing, not only for the travel-specific amenities, but it is SOFT, comfortable, durable, substantial and good looking. Makes me feel like I’m getting a comfy hug every time I wear it.
Eye cover to help decrease light, extra fabric around the ears to decrease sound, perfect for cold weather… AND makes for a very comfortable car pillow when I need to take nap.
My most favorite of outfits to keep me warm and snuggled by the fire or comfy on an international flight.
The only requirements I insist on are: comfy enough for long trips and cold nights around a bonfire… this one is Perfect for Both.
Very comfortable, great pockets, the eye mask works! (great for travel), quality material, overall excellent product.
Its design is very well considered/constructed with small features (eye mask, phone pocket, elbow padding) that distinguish this from any other hoodie. The material is extremely durable and gotten even softer over time/washes.
BEFORE YOU FLY
Yes. It is built into the hood rather than held on by a strap, so it stays put when you shift in your seat. Fold it down for dark, and back up when you land, where it sits like a beanie.
It is 100% cotton, so it breathes. The weight keeps you warm in a cold cabin without trapping the heat, and the thumb hole cuffs let you pull the sleeves down or push them up as the temperature changes.
Ounces are the weight of the cloth: the higher the number, the denser the knit. At 30oz, Apollo X settles on you the way a weighted blanket does. It is knit from 100% cotton in Los Angeles.
Apollo X comes in S through XXL. If you like room to layer underneath, or to curl up in it on a long flight, consider sizing up. Between sizes? Write to the studio and we will help you choose.
Wash cold and inside out, and dry low. It softens with every wash, and every trip.
