The Soft Stack — a personal-shopper lookbook making the case to Jay Hack for which high-quality sweats to buy, calibrated to the James Perse / Fear of God bar.

All imagery loads from the local images/ folder, so the report renders fully offline. Product links open the live brand pages.

A fully self-contained single file (all images embedded as base64) is mirrored for the results site at ../../docs/artifacts/sweats-dossier/cursor-opus-4-8-high.html (and public/artifacts/sweats-dossier/cursor-opus-4-8-high.html).

What's inside

• The Man — a dossier on Jay (Head of AI @ ClickUp; founder of Codegen and the Mira AI beauty-personalization company; ex-Palantir; Stanford CS/AI; @mathemagic1an) and how each fact maps onto the picks.
• The Thesis — one opinionated read: build one tonal rotation, relaxed-but-clean, earned in the hand not the logo. Fit profile, palette, and the three occasions it has to cover.
• Compare — two hand-built SVG charts (price × fabric weight, and a casual↔luxe / slim↔relaxed style map) plus a spec table, so the trade-offs are legible at a glance.
• The Picks — 7 specific products across 6 houses, each with brand, name, price, link, a fabric/construction note, a product image, and a reason tied to something the report actually learned about Jay.
• Run It Back — a 3-piece minimum viable rotation to start, designed to make him come back for round two.

The seven picks

1. James Perse — Brushed Cotton Suede Piped Track Set (the exact pant he linked; the hero set)
2. Fear of God · Essentials — Relaxed Fleece Sweatpant (the camera-safe everyday default)
3. Reigning Champ — Midweight Terry Standard Sweatpant (the engineered workhorse)
4. Lady White Co. — 44 Fleece Crewneck (the meeting-safe layer, LA-made)
5. Lady White Co. — Super Weighted Hoodie (18 oz weather armor)
6. Auralee — Super Milled Sweat Pant (the material-nerd splurge, made in Japan)
7. Sunspel — Loopback Sweatpant (slim crossover for dinner & travel)
