FAQs

What makes the Macaroni fabric 'eco'?

The Eco Macaroni fabric is produced using a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, which reduces environmental impact compared to conventional materials.

Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?

The Chicoa Hoodie is designed for versatile layering and is an excellent alternative to a light jacket for mild or 'funny' weather days. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it under a heavier, insulated coat.

How should I wash my Chicoa Hoodie?

To best care for your hoodie, machine wash it cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to maintain its shape and fabric quality. Avoid bleaching.

Does the hood lining have a specific print?

Yes, the hood lining features a distinctive printed design, adding a unique aesthetic touch to the hoodie. The cuffs also have a matching or complementary print.

Are the hand pockets secure for valuables?

The Chicoa Hoodie features two open hand slip pockets, which are convenient for warming hands or temporarily holding small items. They are not designed with closures, so for securing valuables, it is best to use zippered or internal pockets on other garments or bags.

What is the material composition of the hoodie?

The Chicoa Full Zip Eco Macaroni Hoodie is made from a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, contributing to its sustainable profile and comfortable texture.

Can this hoodie replace a waterproof jacket?

No, this hoodie is not waterproof and is not designed to replace a dedicated waterproof jacket. It provides some protection from light drizzle due to its fabric, but it will not keep you dry in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Zipper snags or gets stuck

Gently jiggle the pull tab while applying slight pressure. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. Applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth can also help lubricate it.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with cotton blends. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and consider adding a fabric softener during the rinse cycle. Tumble drying on low with dryer balls can also help restore softness.

Slight shrinkage after washing

While made with pre-shrunk fabric, some natural fibers can still slightly contract. Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry to minimize any potential shrinkage.

Pilling appears on the fabric surface

Pilling is a natural occurrence with some fabrics. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling to gently remove the pills. To prevent future pilling, wash inside out and avoid excessive friction.

Care

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Eco Macaroni Hoodie, follow these general care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Using a gentle cycle is recommended to preserve the fabric.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the garment is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
