FAQs
What does 'Shrunken Fit' mean?
'Shrunken Fit' means the sweatshirt is designed to be shorter and fit closer to the body than traditional or classic fit hoodies. The length is intended to fall around the hips.
How should I determine my size?
It is recommended to check the specific body length and sleeve length measurements provided for Size M (60.5 cm front body length and 83 cm sleeve length) and note that sleeve length changes by 2 cm between sizes. Compare these to your own measurements or a well-fitting garment.
What is the material composition?
The body and hood lining are made from 83% cotton and 17% polyester.
Can I machine wash this sweatshirt?
Yes, the sweatshirt is machine washable or dry cleanable. Always refer to the specific care label on the garment for the most accurate instructions.
Where is the horse logo located?
The signature house brand horse is embroidered on the left side of the chest.
Does this product support the Better Cotton Initiative?
This product is sourced through a mass balance system. While Polo Ralph Lauren supports the Better Cotton Initiative's mission, this specific item may not contain Better Cotton. More information is available at bettercotton.org/massbalance.
What are the washing recommendations?
To best preserve the material and print, it is generally recommended to wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt appears too small
Check the garment's measurements against the size chart provided. The 'Shrunken Fit' is intentionally designed to be shorter and closer fitting. Consider exchanging for a larger size if a looser fit is desired.
Fleece material is pilling
Follow care instructions carefully. Washing inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water can help minimize pilling. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers over time.
Embroidery is damaged
Avoid ironing directly on the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or place a cloth over the embroidery. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are used.
