Togar.

Unisex sweatshirt

An orangutan sweatshirt to wear a bit of forest warmth. It's Togar, a Sumatran orangutan infant from my series Animal Kinhood: rust-red fur, a grey face with bright eyes, in his denim overalls and his orange-and-white striped shirt. He lives high in the canopy, in the north of Sumatra, and spends the day glued to his mother, clinging to her to move through the canopy.

His home is up high

The first thing Togar remembers isn't a face: it's the forest seen from above, moving. His mother carried him clinging to her hair, crossing the canopy branch by branch, and he watched the green slide past below. Even now, up high feels to him like the good place, and the ground a little less his own.

An orangutan is made for those heights. Its arms are enormously long and its feet grip like hands, so he hangs, swings and holds on to any branch with an ease that seems perfectly ordinary to Togar. His whole life fits up there, in the canopy: last night's tree, tomorrow's, the branch he watches from. At six he still doesn't cross the canopy alone; when his mother moves, he grabs her hair and goes with her, carried high through the forest.

A new bed every night

Up in the canopy it's comfortable: the food hangs close by almost all year and the sun comes in warm through the leaves. As the evening falls, an orangutan builds itself a new bed: it bends branches until it's put together a nest to spend the night in, and if it smells rain it adds a roof of leaves over the top. Every night a different bed, made in a while, way up high.

Togar still sleeps with his mother, tucked into her nest, right up close. He's a small child: the height, the warm canopy and his mother's body are his whole home. By day he follows her wherever she goes; by night he curls up against her. This sweatshirt carries that orangutan child at the closest, highest stage of his life, when going to sleep still means climbing into his mother's nest, up high, where he lives.

§ 07What people ask.08 · about POD
  • Each product is made to order when you place your purchase. There is no pre-made stock or overproduction. A specialised production partner prints, cuts, and prepares it specifically for you.
  • It depends on two things: which piece it is and where it goes. Posters, the mug, the tote and the backpack ship from Europe: 4-7 business days to Europe, 2-4 to the UK, 2-6 to the USA and Canada, 6-22 to the rest of the world. T-shirts and the sweatshirt are made in the United States, so they take considerably longer to reach Europe: 9-25 business days, 7-10 to the UK, 4-10 to the USA and Canada, 5-17 to the rest of the world. Every figure already includes making the piece, since each one is produced when you order it. You will see the exact date for your shipment at checkout.
  • Contact us at mail@yagopartal.com with your order number and clear photos of the damage (include packaging). We will review your case and offer a solution as soon as possible, either replacement or refund.
  • The t-shirts are 96% cotton and 4% elastane, weighing 189 g/m2. The fabric is soft with a smooth surface, ideal for all-over printing. They are pilling-resistant and colourfast after washing.
  • Animal Kinhood is a series of anthropomorphic animal portraits created by Yago Partal. Each portrait features a real species dressed in clothing that reflects its personality, blending photography, illustration, and artificial intelligence.
  • Open editions (main shop) are on-demand products with no copy limit. Limited editions (the Editions section of the shop) have controlled numbering and premium finishes with gallery-grade materials.
  • Men's t-shirts range from XS to 5XL. Women's, kids', and youth sizes have specific ranges. Check the size guide on each product page for exact measurements in cm and inches.
  • On-demand production eliminates surplus stock and overproduction. Each product is manufactured only when someone orders it, drastically reducing material waste and the footprint of unsold inventory.
