Fred Perry Half Zip Sweatshirt - Striped - Blue

This sweatshirt features a regular fit, which provides a comfortable and classic silhouette, allowing for good movement and easy layering without being too tight or too loose.

While it's ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, its 100% cotton construction makes it a comfortable layering piece. It can be worn in cooler summer evenings or as an underlayer in winter, but it's not a heavy winter garment on its own.

The metal zipper can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth if needed. If it becomes stiff, applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth can help it move more smoothly. Avoid harsh chemicals on the metal.

Yes, it is recommended to machine wash this sweatshirt on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors. Always turn it inside out before washing to protect the fabric and embroidery. Avoid hot water.

To prevent shrinking, always wash in cold water and avoid high heat when drying. Tumble dry on a low setting or, for best results, lay the sweatshirt flat on a clean surface to air dry.

'Twin tipped cuffs' refers to the signature Fred Perry design detail where two parallel stripes of a contrasting color are woven into the ribbing of the cuff. It's an iconic stylistic element of the brand.

100% cotton can be prone to shrinking if washed or dried at high temperatures. Always use cold water for washing and tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to prevent this. For minor shrinkage, gently stretch the garment while damp.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of lint or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant directly to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing the zipper.

To preserve color, wash inside out using cold water and a color-safe detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying for extended periods, as UV rays can contribute to fading. Ensure you are not using harsh bleaches or strong detergents.
