FAQs

What is the material composition of this Lacoste sweatshirt?

The main fabric of the sweatshirt is 84% Cotton and 16% Polyester. The ribbing is composed of 98% Cotton and 2% Elastane, providing stretch and shape retention.

Is the crocodile logo on the chest embroidered or printed?

The iconic crocodile logo on this Lacoste sweatshirt is finely embroidered, ensuring a premium finish and lasting quality.

How should I properly wash this sweatshirt to maintain its quality?

For best results, machine wash cold (max 30°C / 86°F) inside out with similar colors. Use a mild detergent, do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or, preferably, air dry flat. Iron on a low setting inside out, avoiding the logo.

What does 'Classic Fit' mean for this garment?

The 'Classic Fit' denotes a comfortable, regular cut that is neither too tight nor too loose. It offers a timeless silhouette and ease of movement, suitable for a relaxed yet refined style.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for all seasons?

Due to its brushed cotton-polyester blend, this sweatshirt provides warmth, making it ideal for cooler seasons like autumn and winter. It also serves as a comfortable layering piece for milder spring and summer evenings when temperatures drop.

Will the green color fade over time?

With proper care—washing in cold water, inside out, and avoiding direct harsh sunlight during drying—the color can be well-preserved. However, fading is a natural process for all dyed fabrics over extensive wear and repeated washing.

Can I iron directly on the embroidered logo?

No, it is strongly advised not to iron directly on the embroidered crocodile logo. If ironing is necessary, do so on a low heat setting and ensure the garment is turned inside out to protect the embroidery.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff or rough after washing

Ensure you are using a fabric softener during the rinse cycle (if suitable for the fabric). For machine drying, use a low heat setting. If air drying, try laying it flat rather than hanging, which can sometimes contribute to stiffness.

Color appears to be fading after several washes

Always wash your sweatshirt inside out in cold water using a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid excessive agitation during washing and minimize direct sunlight exposure when drying.

Small fabric pills or bobbles are forming on the surface

Pilling is common with some fabric blends and friction. To reduce it, wash the sweatshirt inside out. For existing pills, gently remove them using a fabric shaver or a specialized lint roller.

Sweatshirt seems to have shrunk after washing or drying

To prevent shrinkage, always wash in cold water. Avoid high heat in the dryer; air drying flat is the best method to maintain size and shape. If machine drying, use the lowest possible heat setting.

Embroidered logo looks damaged or snagged

To protect the embroidery, always turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing. Avoid direct ironing on the logo. If snagged, carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors, do not pull.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality, color, and fit of your Lacoste sweatshirt. Always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions. Following these guidelines will help preserve its appearance and extend its lifespan:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (maximum 30°C / 86°F) with similar colors. Turn the sweatshirt inside out to protect the embroidered logo and prevent surface abrasion.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh stain removers, as these can damage the fabric fibers and cause color fading.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat on a clean surface. Air drying helps prevent shrinking and maintains the garment's original shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, do so on a low heat setting and iron the garment inside out. Do not iron directly on the embroidered crocodile logo.
  5. Storage: Store your sweatshirt folded in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching, creasing, and to maintain its shape over time.
