Refer to the size chart provided. The description notes that a Size M has a 60.5 cm front body length and 83 cm sleeve length. Sleeve length is measured from the center back of the neck. Sizes typically change by 2 cm between adjacent sizes.
What is the material composition?
The body and hood lining are made from a blend of 83% cotton and 17% polyester.
Can this sweatshirt be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed. It is recommended to wash inside out in cold water with like colors on a gentle cycle.
How should I dry the sweatshirt?
It is best to tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain the fabric's quality and prevent excessive shrinkage. Avoid high heat drying.
Does this sweatshirt support sustainable cotton practices?
The product is sourced through a mass balance system, supporting the Better Cotton Initiative mission. However, it may not contain certified Better Cotton. More information can be found at bettercotton.org/massbalance.
What are the care instructions if I choose to dry clean it?
If dry cleaning, inform your cleaner that the item is a cotton/polyester blend. Machine washing is generally recommended for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt appears too short
The 'Shrunken Fit' is intentionally designed to be shorter and sit closer to the hips. Please refer to the size guide for specific body and sleeve length measurements. If the fit is not as desired, consider trying a different size or fit type.
Fleece pilling after washing
Some pilling can occur with fleece materials over time. To minimize this, wash the sweatshirt inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
Embroidery appears damaged
Avoid ironing directly on the embroidered logo. If ironing is necessary, turn the sweatshirt inside out and use a low heat setting. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are followed.
