FAQs
What does 'Shrunken Fit' mean for this hoodie?
'Shrunken Fit' indicates that the hoodie is designed to fit closer to the body and is shorter in length than a classic fit, typically ending around the hips. This offers a more modern, tailored silhouette.
How should I wash this white hoodie?
The hoodie should be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. It is recommended to wash with like colors and avoid bleach to maintain the white color and fabric integrity.
What material is the hoodie made of?
The hoodie is made from a blend of 84% cotton and 16% polyester for the main body. The hood lining is composed of 83% cotton and 17% polyester.
Is the 'Pony Logo' embroidery durable?
The house brand horse logo is embroidered, offering good durability. To maintain its appearance, avoid direct ironing on the embroidery and follow the recommended washing instructions.
Can I put this hoodie in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the hoodie on a low heat setting. For best results and to preserve the fabric, air drying is also recommended.
What does the 'Better Cotton Initiative' mention mean?
This indicates support for the Better Cotton Initiative's mission to improve cotton farming. However, the product is sourced through a 'mass balance system', meaning it may not contain exclusively Better Cotton. More information is available at bettercotton.org/massbalance.
Where is the sleeve length measured from?
The sleeve length is measured from the center of the back of the neck. This measurement changes by approximately 2 cm between sizes.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too tight or short.
The 'Shrunken Fit' is intentionally designed to be closer to the body and shorter. If a looser fit is preferred, consider sizing up or exploring other Polo Ralph Lauren fits. Review the specific body and sleeve length measurements for your size.
Shrinking after washing.
Ensure the hoodie is washed according to the care instructions: machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid high heat drying; opt for low heat tumble dry or air dry. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine.
Embroidery is damaged or peeling.
Avoid direct ironing on the embroidered logo. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron around the logo area. Do not use bleach, which can damage embroidery threads.
Pilling on the fleece fabric.
Some minor pilling can occur with fleece over time. Washing the garment inside out can help minimize this. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or items with zippers.
