Collegiate Legacy. Off-Duty Composure: The Dukes Valley Heritage Midweight Q-Zip

Capturing the calm, time-honored energy of campus dawns and weekend rituals, The JMU Dukes Valley Heritage Midweight Q-Zip sets a subtle chest crest and vintage-script upper back typography against a clean, sand-toned canvas. Fusing classic athletic heritage with a refined coastal twist, this midweight fleece layer brings a lived-in, sideline composure to early morning sessions, quad walks with coffee in hand, and cool twilight transitions.

Built from a durable 80/20 ring-spun cotton blend, it delivers quiet, streetwise utility and effortless layering beneath heavy outer shells or over technical tees.

Architectural Fabric: The 8.4 oz Midweight Fleece Matrix

We don't build paper-thin layers; we engineer calibrated active fleeces designed to anchor your daily rotation:

• 80/20 Ring-Spun Cotton-Poly Blend: Formulated with an 8.4 oz/yd² fleece matrix combining ring-spun cotton for an exceptionally soft handfeel with resilient polyester for long-term shape retention.
• Neutral Canvas: Dyed in a neutral palette that keeps the chest crest and script artwork crisp, vibrant, and infinitely wearable.
• Spandex-Reinforced Trim: Features 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband infused with elastane to guarantee structural shape recovery through repeated wear.

Silhouette & Design Engineering

• Dual-Zone Heritage Graphics: Features a low-profile chest emblem paired with high-contrast vintage script across the upper back for authentic collegiate authority.
• Reverse-Coil Locking Zipper: Outfitted with a color-matched reverse-coil zipper that locks flat against the neck, allowing quick temperature control without hanging hardware.
• Calibrated Unisex Drape: Cut in a classic unisex silhouette engineered for fluid mobility and zero-bulk layering over baselayers.
• Frictionless Daily Comfort: Finished with a tear-away neck label to eliminate irritation during extended off-duty wear.
