Design 04 / 05 – Terra Australis Incognita
 

Core Expedition Series I Hoodie
Before it had co-ordinates.
Before it had borders.
Before it had a name.
Terra Australis Incognita: the unknown southern land, once nothing more than a blank space on the map. No routes. No certainties. Just a theory and a horizon.
This design represents that moment of geographical and human uncertainty — when the world still had edges, and crossing them required more than equipment.
Issued as Design 04 of 05 in the Core Expedition Series I, this hoodie carries the square Vintage Antarctica expedition mark on the sleeve and a discreet issue panel on the reverse, marking it as part of the founding series.
Constructed from a heavyweight premium cotton blend and finished in field colours drawn from polar operations, it’s built for cold air, long days, and quiet places — where the known world begins to thin.
Not branding. Not decoration.
