Walter Benjamin Quote - Sweatshirt

Benjamin described history as a single catastrophe seen by an angel blown backwards into the future. He wrote it in 1940, then died fleeing the Nazis at the border. Warm enough for the walk in, comfortable enough to keep on all day.

• Everyday weight: Substantial enough for a cold lecture hall, light enough to keep on indoors.
• Holds its shape: Ribbed cuffs and hem stay snug through the wash cycle, not just the first wear.
• Weight behind the words: Given the circumstances of his death, the quote is not decoration.

The storm is what we call progress.
