The Embrace the Brutality Warrior Cutoff strips everything down to the essentials. Heavyweight warmth for your core. Free arms to work. A hood deep enough to block out the world. This is the cutoff for the absolute savages who need to move, lift, grind, and still look like they're ready to throw down.
At 380g/m² in French Terry construction, the Warrior Cutoff combines the aggressive design of the Warriors collection with the functional freedom of sleeveless construction.
The Design
The Embrace the Brutality Warrior hoodie fuses Japanese warrior aesthetics with the core Pajer philosophy.
Front: A circular emblem featuring the kanji 残酷 (zankoku, meaning "brutal/cruel") at the center, surrounded by "Pajer Hockey" text around the top and bottom of the circle. A subtle but unmistakable identifier.
Back: A Japanese samurai warrior stands against a dramatic mountain landscape, framed by an arch with "EMBRACE THE BRUTALITY" text curving above. The kanji 残酷 appears again alongside the powerful declaration: "We are built from everything that tried to destroy us."
Availability: Pastel Gray only | Sizes XL-2XL
Warrior Meets Function
The Warrior design carries battle-ready energy—aggression channeled into purpose. The cutoff construction puts that energy into a form built for active use.
Raw-edge armholes give it that torn-from-battle aesthetic while providing complete freedom of movement. The oversized fit allows layering when temperatures turn truly brutal, or room to breathe when the work heats up.
Warriors don't need decoration—they need function. The Warrior Cutoff delivers both.

The Warrior Application
The Warrior Cutoff serves anyone who needs arm freedom without sacrificing aggressive style.
For hockey players, it's warm-up gear that sets the tone before hitting the ice. The Warrior design communicates intent while the cutoff construction allows pre-game stretching and stick work.
For gym warriors, it's the pump cover that lets you track shoulder and arm progress during lifts while keeping muscles warm between sets. The aggressive design matches the intensity of serious training.
For workers in demanding physical jobs, it provides core warmth with arm mobility. The Warrior aesthetic looks right on job sites, in shops, and anywhere that values work over appearance.
Care Instructions
Maintain your Warrior Cutoff properly:
- Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent
- Do not bleach, soak, rub, or wring
- Slight bleeding may occur during first wash
- Wash like-colored garments together
- Hang dry and avoid direct sunlight
- Iron, steam, or tumble dry at low temperature (max 30℃ or 90℉)
The distressed armholes will maintain their raw appearance without unraveling or degrading over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Embrace the Brutality cutoff and the Warrior cutoff?
Both use the same 380gsm French Terry construction and cutoff design. The difference is the graphic—the standard Embrace the Brutality cutoff features the original design, while the Warrior cutoff carries the Warrior-specific graphics.
How does the Warrior design affect fit?
It doesn't. The fit, fabric, and construction are identical. Only the exterior design differs.
Is this warm enough for outdoor training?
The 380gsm French Terry provides significant core warmth during activity. For static cold-weather use, layer over a base layer. The cutoff design works best for active use where arm freedom is needed.
Will the distressed armholes stretch or unravel?
The armholes are finished to maintain their raw appearance without degrading. They'll soften with wear but won't stretch significantly or unravel.
