Step 1: Holey Quick Reversing Super Garments...

Regular hoodies are repurposed from the existing line of Betabrand hoodies.

The reverse side is faced with super hero costume elements.

The hood has a zipper to allow it to be unzipped and opened up so it lays flat on the shoulder.

Superman model is more expensive because a special fabric has to be imported from a faraway place like planet BetaKrypton.

Finally, the entire garment is treated with some super secret proprietary industrial process to give it that wonderful spring-fresh scent and sparkly clean look.

Step 2: Look for the Union Label...

I had attempted to do this all in Autodesk Sketchbook. I wimped out and went with the GIMP because I was more familar with it...somewhat.

Anyway, I was going back and forth trying to manipulate the Betabrand logo as the superhero emblem.

In Sketchbook, I did learn how to position the image workspace with the positioning "puck"(spacebar and mouse drag). The polyline is equivalent to using creating paths and stroking the path to ink in the lines.

I wanted to create a metallic look so I went with attempting drybrushing a layer over the base color for the gold lame. There are probably better techniques to do the metallic look and shine.

I wasn't sure how to create a pattern fill so I just drew in lines for the seersucker lining fabric. That lilac seersucker does look nice though.
