FAQs

What material is the sweatshirt made of?

The sweatshirt is made from 100% cotton French terry.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the sizing information provided, as the model is 6'1" and wears a size medium, which has a regular fit. Consider your preferred fit (e.g., if you prefer a looser feel, size up).

Can I wear this in warmer weather?

While it's made of cotton, the French terry fabric can be breathable. The half-zip allows for ventilation, making it suitable for cooler parts of warmer days or air-conditioned environments.

What does 'twin tipping' refer to?

Twin tipping refers to the two contrasting colored stripes found on the ribbed cuffs of the sweatshirt, a signature design element of Fred Perry.

Is the zipper functional?

Yes, the sweatshirt features an exposed silver metal zip that is fully functional, allowing you to adjust the neckline opening.

How do I care for the Laurel Wreath embroidery?

To protect the embroidery, always iron the garment inside out on a medium heat setting and avoid direct contact with the embroidered area.

What is the fit of this sweatshirt?

The sweatshirt has a regular fit, meaning it is designed to be comfortable and not too tight or too loose.

Troubleshooting

Shrinking after washing

Ensure you are washing on a cool cycle (max 30°C) and avoid high heat in the dryer. Air drying is recommended to minimize shrinkage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil lead to the teeth, or a tiny drop of lubricating oil (like silicone spray or even lip balm) to the track, then carefully work the zipper.

Embroidery is damaged or lifting

Avoid ironing directly over the embroidery. If minor lifting occurs, try ironing from the reverse side on a low heat setting. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.

Color fading

Wash inside out with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
