Marcus Aurelius Hoodie, The Obstacle is the way, Gift for Stoics, Unisex Hoodie, Stoicism Hoodie, Christmas Gift for Dad, Gift for Military
The sizing is unisex. For an oversized fit, select one to two sizes up from your normal size. See sizing guideline below.
"The obstacle is the way." Nearly 2000 years ago, Marcus Aurelius penned this thought in his personal journal. Modern interpretations of his quote have explained this thought as, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Our original hand-drawn artwork portrait of Marcus Aurelius appears alongside his time-tested wise words, which express a core tenet of Stoic philosophy.
The artwork is printed on a blended hoodie with 50% pre-shrunk cotton and 50% polyester, which helps reduce shrinkage. The hoodie is heavy weighing in at 13.5 ounces and features a double line hood and front kangaroo pocket. Comes with a large front pouch pocket and drawstrings in matching color.
