American Tradition - Unisex Premium Tattooed Sweatshirt

American Tradition – Premium Tattooed Sweatshirt by Sonder Mountain Apparel Co.

Old School Ink. Modern Soul.

This premium sweatshirt from Sonder Mountain pays homage to the roots of American Traditional tattoos—bold, iconic, and steeped in sailor history. The design features a classic tattooed portrait, reminiscent of the timeless “Old School” ink made famous by legendary artist Sailor Jerry.

The legacy begins with Polynesian tatau and British naval traditions, carried home by American sailors. By the late 19th century, returning seamen brought intricate techniques and vibrant imagery back to the States, creating a rebellious form of wearable history. In the 1930s, Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins transformed these early designs with bold lines, deep symbolism, and patriotism—forever shaping the American Traditional tattoo style.

Wearing this sweatshirt isn’t just about style—it’s about honoring generations of inked stories and living vividly, every day.
