FAQs
What does 'Shrunken Fit' mean?

How do I determine my correct size?

What is the material composition?
The body and hood lining are made from a blend of 83% cotton and 17% polyester.
Can I machine wash this sweatshirt?
Yes, it is machine washable. It is recommended to wash in cold water with like colors and tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it features a front kangaroo pocket.
What is the significance of the embroidered horse logo?
The embroidered horse logo is a signature emblem of the Polo Ralph Lauren brand, representing its heritage and classic equestrian style.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for cold weather?
The fleece construction and lined hood offer warmth, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. However, for very cold weather, it may be best layered under a heavier coat.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels too tight or short.
This is characteristic of the 'Shrunken Fit'. If a looser fit is preferred, consider sizing up or exploring other Polo Ralph Lauren fits. Always check the specific garment measurements for reference.
Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Wash in cold water, tumble dry on low heat, or opt for air drying. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat.
Embroidery is peeling or damaged.
Avoid direct ironing on the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or place a cloth over the embroidery. Machine washing on a delicate cycle and air drying can also help preserve the embroidery.
