About This Lightweight Hoodie
The Agojie is named after the historic all-female warrior regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey in present-day Benin, West Africa. They were soldiers, protectors, and one of the most disciplined fighting forces of the 19th century. This hoodie carries that name with intention. It is not a loud statement. It is a quiet one. And that is exactly the point.
Crafted from 70% combed and ring-spun cotton and 30% polyester in a soft French Terry construction, the Agojie hoodie sits at the intersection of cultural identity and everyday wearability. The fabric is lightweight enough for spring layering and cool summer evenings, and substantial enough to carry warmth into fall. A front pouch pocket provides practical storage. An unlined hood keeps the silhouette relaxed without excess bulk. Color-matched drawcords with metal tips and eyelets and matching back-neck tape give the construction a considered, finished quality that separates it from a basic blank hoodie.
The unisex fit runs true to size with a relaxed silhouette across the chest and shoulders. Size up if you want the oversized drape. The current colorways are Light Heather Grey and Black, both of which layer naturally with ASAKE-OGE African print tops, shirts, and outerwear.
How to Style This Hoodie
The Agojie hoodie works as a layering piece first and a standalone second. For a relaxed streetwear look, wear it over the ÌWÀ Unisex African Print Button Shirt left open at the collar, with the hoodie unzipped over the top to let the African print read through the neckline. The contrast between the clean grey or black hoodie and a bold geometric African print underneath is a combination that photographs well and feels intentional without being overdressed.
For a fully casual approach, pair the Agojie hoodie with joggers and clean sneakers for errands, travel days, or cool evenings. For something more considered, wear it under one of the African print unisex bomber jackets from the ASAKE-OGE outerwear collection as a mid-layer in colder months. The neutral colorways of the Agojie are designed to sit underneath the brand's bolder print pieces without competing with them. It is a foundation garment, built to support the full wardrobe system.

About the Name
The Agojie warriors of the Dahomey Kingdom served from the 1600s through the late 1800s as the royal bodyguard and frontline military of the Fon people. They were known for their discipline, their courage, and their refusal to be defined by what the world expected of them. Naming this hoodie after them is not decoration. It is a reminder that heritage is not always worn in pattern and color. Sometimes it is carried in name, in meaning, and in the quiet decision to show up in a garment that knows where it comes from.
