State & Madison Zero Point Hoodie

Every address in Chicago counts from one corner: State and Madison, downtown in the Loop. That's 0 north, 0 south, 0 east, 0 west, and it has been since the city renumbered its streets in 1909. Eight blocks make a mile and 800 numbers make a mile, so if you know the address, you know how far you're walking. The rest of the country just guesses. This one is for the people who never do.

The street grid one mile around State and Madison across the back, the lake hatched on the right, the green STATE and MADISON signs at the zero point, and 0 N/S · 0 E/W underneath. The same two signs small at the chest, and 8 BLOCKS = 1 MILE down the sleeve. Midweight 9.5 oz garment-dyed fleece, relaxed fit, true to size.

Verse: Psalm 127:1, printed small at the back of the neck.
