Wajangpop

Wajangpop by Leo Gestel Boxy Distressed Hoodie

This limited-edition hoodie merges fine art and modern streetwear, showcasing the iconic Wajangpop drawing by Dutch modernist Leo Gestel (1881–1941). Known as one of the Netherlands’ most innovative early-20th-century artists, Gestel explored Cubism, Futurism, and Expressionism, bringing bold movement and stylized form into his work. His Wajangpop piece reflects his fascination with global culture and theatrical imagery, depicting a traditional Indonesian wayang puppet with refined, expressive linework.

Printed on a premium, heavy-weight hoodie, Gestel’s artwork becomes a striking centerpiece against a boxy silhouette designed for an effortlessly street-ready look. Distressed detailing, raw-edge pocket construction, frayed cuffs and hem, and a subtle vertical tonal gradient create a lived-in, rebellious feel. Each hoodie is reactive-dyed and sun-faded for rich color depth and a uniquely worn aesthetic—no two pieces are exactly alike.

Crafted from 100% pre-shrunk cotton in a 32-count plain weave, this hoodie blends durability, comfort, and artistic heritage into one statement garment.
