Behind the garment
CLOUDS SET
Our most sort after design is finally here. Some of you have been asking for this for over 160 days nows! And the wait is finally over.
01 / The idea
Why this design exists
This design is a love child of mine; it has existed in my sketches since before Aifer even existed. This design uses triple-layered puff ink to create three layers of depth. This may be our second drop, but really it's our first. This is the feature set of our brand launch. The first drop was just a test run in comparison to the work that has gone into developing the Cloud set.
02 / In the making
Nothing forgetten about.
With so much work gone into the puff ink design, I wanted to make sure the rest of the hoodie had that same love. For the final sample, I went with the eclipse symbols on the hood rim and a high-density embroidery patch on the back left.
03 / Sample journey
Five samples to the final piece
Each sample brought the product closer. I refined the proportions, tested the embroidery and edited the details until the final version felt resolved.
1 / First run
2 / Improved colourway

4 / Fixes to hood

04 / The creator
Made with intention
I always put so much effort and love into creating Aifer garments, but our Cloud set stands above the rest. The arguments with my lovely manufacturer (shout-out Nicole) at 5am; over £1,000 in sample costs alone. The reason the total stock for Drop 2 is even smaller than Drop 1 is that this design is much more complex and requires much more attention to make sure quality control is maintained. So, there will only be a total of 30 sets available. Yes, only 30 - with 1,300 members in the Aifer family already, this drop won't last anywhere near as long as Drop 1. Expected sell-out: 2 hours. This set is also the one I receive the most messages about; if you are one of those people, be ready on drop day at 7pm or you may be disappointed.
Creator - Isaac Bosher
Founder of Aifer. The Cloud set is a staple of the Aifer launch. I spent 12 months behind the scenes before posting a single thing on social media, and the Cloud set had the most development stages to get right. Personally, this design means a lot to me; I drew the first version in 2020, and at the time, it was meant for embroidery. But after getting more experienced with puff ink, I knew that was how I had to bring this design to life.

Shape the Next Drop
If you made it to the bottom of this page, you care about the actual process, not just the finished piece. We do not design behind closed doors. Inside our private Discord, founding members get unfiltered lookbooks before they hit socials, sneak peeks at future drops, and a direct vote on sample revisions, GSM weights, and trims before we cut a single meter of fabric.
