Detroit Original Slang Embroidered Hoodie — "What Up Doe" Hoodie
What Up Doe. Out Cold. Off The Hook. Square Business.
If you're from Detroit, you don't need a translation. If you're not, wear this and someone from the D will explain it to you — that's the point.
This hoodie is embroidered, not printed, in bold lettering across the chest, so the slang pops and stays sharp wash after wash. Soft, heavy enough for a Detroit winter, with a kangaroo pocket and drawstring hood.
Detroiters buy this for themselves. Everybody else buys it as a gift for a Detroiter — and it lands every time.
The slang on this hoodie:
- What Up Doe — Detroit's hello. How we greet our people.
- Out Cold — Something so good / sharp, it's unbelievable.
- Off The Hook — Next level, out of control good.
- Square Business — Real talk. No games. I'm serious.
Details:
- Premium embroidered design — not a print, won't peel
- Front kangaroo pouch pocket, adjustable drawstring hood
- Soft, high-quality blend, relaxed unisex fit S-3XL
- 15 colors — Black and White show the embroidery best for gifting
- Made to order in the U.S. Please allow additional time for production and delivery.
