The Portager Hoodie

Description

The design

Designed by local musician and photographer Roger Hoover, The Portager logo is chic enough for The Bistro and fun enough for the County Line. Wherever you’re wearing our banner, raise a toast to your fellow Portagers.

The hoodie

For the cold fall nights, this is a classic hoodie with a fleecy feel inside. The hoodie is a medium-heavy weight fabric in a 50/50 polyester cotton blend. Fits true to size, but you can check your favorite hoodie with the size chart below to double check your hoodie is the right amount of roomy.

The shop

Buying from the Portager Shop is a good idea for two reasons. First, 90% of the profits we make from sales support our journalists. It allows us to tell more stories, report on local government and expand our coverage. We’re not owned by some out-of-state hedge fund, so the money you spend here comes right back to you in the form of important local news.

What about the other 10% of the profits? Between now and the end of March 2022, a tenth of all sales after expenses will go directly to the Socially Responsible Sweatshop of Kent, an organization of sewists dedicated to repurposing landfill-bound textiles into new, useful items. These were the people who stitched together thousands of masks for first responders during the pandemic. They donate all the proceeds from their sales to organizations fighting hunger in Portage County, including Kent Social Services and the Rural Relief Mobile Food Pantry.
