FAQs

Is the hood adjustable?

Can I print on this hoodie?

Yes, it is designed with a clean surface and covered zip specifically to maximize printability for screen printing or heat transfers.

What is Belcoro yarn?

Belcoro yarn is a high-quality material that results in a softer feel and a smoother fabric surface, which is ideal for printing.

How do I choose the right size?

The size 7-8 is designed for average children in that age range; check the manufacturer's size chart to match your child's height and weight measurements.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric fibers are caught in the teeth and gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the zip track to act as a dry lubricant.

Fabric surface shows piling after many washes

Piling is natural with cotton-blend fabrics; use a fabric shaver gently to remove excess fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment uses Belcoro yarn, it is optimized for high-quality printing results. For best results with screen printing or vinyl transfers, ensure your heat press settings are calibrated for cotton-blend fabrics. To maintain the life of the sweatshirt:

  1. Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the exterior fabric surface and any printed designs.
  2. Machine wash at a cool temperature (30-40 degrees Celsius) to prevent shrinking.
  3. Avoid heavy bleach or harsh detergents which may degrade the ribbed elastic.
  4. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably hang dry to preserve the integrity of the cuffs and waistband over time.
