The verse
IN THE BEGINNING GOD
“…created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
Genesis 1:1–3
Before there was anything to argue about, there was a word, and then there was light.
Everything that still matters begins the same way - order spoken into the formless, light into the dark.
In the beginning, God. The first line, and the one the rest depends on.

FAQ Before you order
Made to order asks a little patience. Here is what that means, in plain words.
Everything else lives on the FAQ page.
Is this a Christian hoodie?
Yes. The Word is Christian streetwear, and every print is a verse, printed exactly as written. Verse meaning, higher up on this page, tells what this one says.
How heavy is this hoodie?
It is 400 g/m² (400 gsm) brushed fleece in 100% combed cotton, pre-shrunk. With the sweatpants, it is the heaviest piece we make. The fabric guide compares every weight we make.
Is it an oversized hoodie?
Yes. It is cut oversized with drop shoulders, and it is true to size. Take your usual size for the oversized look. Size guide
Is a heavyweight hoodie warm?
Yes. 400 g/m² cotton with brushed fleece inside, a snug collar that keeps out wind, and ribbed cuffs and hem. It is made for autumn and winter.
How do I wash it so the print lasts?
Turn it inside out and wash at max 30 degrees with a neutral detergent and similar colours. Hang dry, or tumble on low, never in direct sun. No bleach and no soaking.
When does it ship?
We print nothing until you ask for it. Those 2 to 3 working days are the print, and they are the reason there is no crate of last season's belief waiting to be discounted.
Full answer on the FAQ pageWhat verse is on the Black Faded Hoodie?
Genesis 1:1–3. “…created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”In the beginning, God. The first line, and the one the rest depends on.
What size hoodie should I get?
Your usual size. It is true to size and already cut oversized. Between two sizes: slim build, size down. Broad build, size up. Size guide
Is it a good Christian gift?
Yes. It carries a verse, not a logo, and it is warm enough to live in all winter. Not sure of the size? The size guide has every measurement.
Why does it look faded?
It is garment washed, so the fade is in the fabric, not printed on. The fade is meant to deepen with wear, and the fleece softens with every wash.
Are there matching sweatpants?
Yes. The Heavyweight Sweatpants are the same 400 g/m² brushed fleece in smoky black, so together they make a full set.
Who pays if I send it back?
Return postage is yours, and a faulty or wrong item is on us. We print one piece for one person and have no shelf to collect for. In the EU, the EEA and the UK, tell us at info@thwrd.com within 14 days of receiving it, and we refund within 14 days of that, including the standard outbound shipping you paid.
