FAQs

What material is this sweatshirt made from?

This Lacoste sweatshirt is crafted from premium soft cotton fleece fabric, providing both comfort and warmth.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold winter weather?

While it offers warmth, this sweatshirt is designed as a versatile layering piece for moderate to cool temperatures. For extreme cold, it's best worn as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.

How should I wash this sweatshirt to prevent shrinking?

To prevent shrinkage, machine wash cold (max 30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle. It is highly recommended to air dry flat or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. Avoid hot water and high heat drying.

Is the Lacoste crocodile logo embroidered or printed?

The signature Lacoste crocodile logo featured on the chest is authentically embroidered, showcasing the brand's quality.

What kind of fit does this sweatshirt have?

This sweatshirt features a classic, comfortable fit. The ribbed cuffs and hem contribute to a secure feel while helping the garment maintain its shape.

Can I iron this sweatshirt?

Yes, you can iron the sweatshirt on a low heat setting, but always iron it inside out. Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered crocodile logo to protect its integrity.

Does this sweatshirt come in other colors?

Yes, the Lacoste Basic Crew-Neck Sweatshirt is typically available in a range of classic colors beyond red, such as Grey, Blue, Black, White, and Green, depending on current stock and collections.

Troubleshooting

Sweatshirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water (max 30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle. Always air dry flat or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. High heat is the most common cause of shrinkage for cotton fleece.

Fabric has started to pill or form small bobbles.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize this, wash the sweatshirt inside out. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or a lint roller.

The ribbed cuffs or hem are losing their elasticity or shape.

Avoid overstretching the ribbed areas when putting on or taking off the sweatshirt. Follow precise drying instructions (air dry flat) to help maintain their elasticity. Do not wring out excessively after washing.

Color seems to be fading after multiple washes.

Always wash with similar colors in cold water on a gentle cycle. Using too much detergent or washing with abrasive items can accelerate color fade. Air drying instead of tumble drying can also help preserve color.

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality, color, and shape of your Lacoste Basic Crew-Neck Sweatshirt, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (max 30°C/86°F) on a gentle or delicate cycle with similar colors. Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing to protect the fleece and embroidery.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and color.
  3. Drying: To prevent shrinkage and maintain fabric integrity, air dry flat or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. Remove promptly when dry. High heat can cause pilling and shrinkage.
  4. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting (cool iron) and iron inside out. Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered crocodile logo.
  5. Storage: Fold neatly and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for extended periods if the material is heavy, as this can stretch the shoulder areas.
