VDR_VANISH_05 ☰ — a vintage jacquard plush sweatercoat: washed polyester knit, embroidered letter sigil, and a secret signal glyph on the sleeve. Oversized comfort with thin-wool fleece warmth for spring/autumn. Minimalist, ritual-ready, serialized for provenance. Wear slow, age loud.
The VDR_VANISH_05 ☰ is a sweatercoat for people who collect moments, not trends. Built from flat-knitted jacquard in plush polyester with a thin-wool fleece hand, its washed vintage finish is intentionally uneven — designed to patina and gather shadowed memory. The silhouette is slightly oversized with a disciplined round neck and full sleeves, referencing classic heritage knits but reframed for threshold streets.
VOIDWEAR encoded a quiet system into the garment: an embroidered signal glyph on the left sleeve, printed micro-sigil beneath the internal neck tag, and a conceptual vanish hood graphic — a soft panel you can fold to ‘hide’ the glyph in daylight, revealing it selectively at dusk or under directional light. This is clothing as activation: the garment reads differently depending on angle, time, and intent.
Technically, the polyester jacquard is knit to provide light thermal trapping while remaining breathable for spring and autumn. Stitch density and construction mimic mid-GSM knit feel so the garment keeps shape while letting softened patina develop through wear and wash. Each piece is serialized — a neck tab code for registration in VOIDWEAR’s provenance ledger — so ownership becomes an activation token for community access.
Wear it as your daily armor or a ritual object: pull the sleeve glyph into view, fold the vanish panel, and let other wearers read the signal. Over time, your sweatercoat earns its scars and becomes yours.

Q&A section
Q1: What is the fiber content and how warm is it?
A: The sweatercoat is 100% polyester jacquard with a thin-wool fleece hand. It traps light warmth suited for spring and autumn but is not a heavy winter layer.
Q2: How will the washed finish change over time?
A: The washed vintage finish is designed to patina: slight softening, subtle color shifts, and shadowing around high-wear zones. This is intentional and part of the piece’s story.
Q3: What is the signal glyph and how do I use the vanish feature?
A: The embroidered sleeve glyph is a semiotic marker. Fold the conceptual vanish hood panel to conceal in daylight; reveal it for low-light or ritual moments. The effect is subtle — meant for in-the-know readers.
Q4: How do I care for the sweatercoat?
A: Hand wash or use gentle machine cycle cold; reshape while damp and lay flat to dry to preserve stitch density and hand feel. Avoid tumble drying.
Q5: Is the product restricted or limited?
A: This is a limited release (2,000 units). Each piece is serialized for entry into VOIDWEAR’s registration ledger.
