FAQs
What material is the hoodie made of?
The main shell is made of 58% polyester and 42% cotton. The collar, cuffs, and hem vary slightly between solid (57% cotton, 41% polyester, 2% elastane) and heathered (60% cotton, 38% polyester, 2% elastane) colors.
How do I determine the correct size?
Please consult the product's size chart. Pay attention to the body length, shoulder, chest, and sleeve length measurements. Note that sleeve length changes by 1 inch between sizes.
Can I put this hoodie in the dryer?
Yes, but it is recommended to tumble dry on low heat to preserve the fabric's quality and elasticity. Air drying is also a good option.
Is the hoodie suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable and made with a performance-oriented fabric blend, it's primarily designed as athleisure wear. For high-intensity sports, specialized athletic gear may offer better moisture-wicking and breathability.
What does the 'signature embroidered pony' refer to?
This refers to the iconic small embroidered horse logo, a trademark of the Polo Ralph Lauren brand, typically found on the left chest of their apparel.
How should I clean the hoodie?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry.
Does the pocket have a zipper?
No, it features a split kangaroo pocket which is open on both sides, not zippered.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the size guide and note that sleeve length changes by 1" between sizes. Consider ordering a different size if the fit is not optimal.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of wax can sometimes help.
Color fading after washing.
Ensure you are washing in cold water with like colors and using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive agitation.
Ribbed cuffs or hem losing elasticity.
Avoid high heat drying, as this can degrade elastic fibers. Tumble dry on low or air dry whenever possible.
