Product Information
Full details
This Polo Ralph Lauren Shrunken Fit hooded sweatshirt is designed for adult females seeking a stylish, comfortable layer with a modern, shorter silhouette. Its key benefit lies in its soft, used-look fleece construction and signature embroidered horse, offering a blend of classic branding and contemporary fit. A potential caveat is the 'shrunken' fit, which means it sits closer to the body and hips, so users accustomed to looser styles may wish to size up.

FAQs
What does 'Shrunken Fit' mean?
Shrunken Fit indicates the sweatshirt is designed to be shorter in length, typically ending around the hips, and may have a more tailored fit compared to classic or oversized hoodies.
What is the material composition?
The body and hood lining are made from 83% cotton and 17% polyester, designed for a soft, used-look feel.
How do I know if this size will fit me?
The product description provides a size guide. For example, size M has a 60.5 cm front body length. It is recommended to measure your own body or a similar garment and compare.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the sweatshirt on a low heat setting. For best results and to minimize shrinkage, cold water washing and low heat drying are recommended.
What is the 'Better Cotton Initiative' mentioned?
By choosing cotton products that support the Better Cotton Initiative, you help cotton communities and protect/restore the environment. This specific product uses a mass balance system, meaning it may not contain solely Better Cotton.
How should I clean the embroidered logo?
The embroidery can be washed according to the garment's instructions. Avoid direct high heat when ironing over the logo to maintain its shape and integrity.
What is the sleeve length measurement based on?
Sleeve length is measured from the center of the back of the neck. The measurement changes by approximately 2 cm between sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Always follow the care label instructions. Washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat helps prevent excessive shrinkage. Avoid high heat settings.
Fleece pilling
Pilling can occur with fleece. Washing inside out and using a gentle cycle can minimize this. Consider using a fabric shaver if minor pilling occurs.
Embroidery losing shape
Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered logo. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or use a pressing cloth.
