FAQs
What materials is this hoodie made from?
This hoodie is made with a blend of 55% cotton, 36% polyester (recycled), and 9% viscose. It also contains a minimum of 70% recycled and renewable content, contributing to sustainability.
Is this hoodie suitable for cold weather?
Yes, the fleece material provides warmth, making it suitable for cooler temperatures or as a comfortable layer during cold weather. For extremely cold conditions, it may serve best as a mid-layer.
How should I wash this hoodie to prevent shrinkage?
To prevent shrinkage, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to air dry flat or tumble dry on a very low heat setting, removing it promptly once dry.
What is a 'regular fit'?
A 'regular fit' means the garment offers a comfortable, classic cut that isn't too tight or too loose, allowing for good freedom of movement and a relaxed feel.
Does this hoodie pill easily?
Fleece materials can sometimes pill over time due to friction. To minimize this, wash the hoodie inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid washing it with rougher fabrics like denim or items with zippers that can create friction.
Can I iron this hoodie?
Yes, you can iron this hoodie on a low heat setting. For best results and to protect any logos or stripes, iron the garment inside out.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels stiff or less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing on a gentle, cold cycle. Avoid using too much detergent, and consider adding a small amount of fabric softener formulated for athletic wear (if desired, though usually not necessary for fleece). Air drying can also help maintain softness.
Pilling (small fabric balls) appears on the surface.
Pilling can occur with fleece over time due to friction. To minimize, wash the hoodie inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with abrasive items. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling.
Hoodie has shrunk slightly after washing.
Shrinkage is often caused by high heat. Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on a low heat setting, or ideally, air dry flat. If it has already shrunk, gently stretch the damp garment back into shape and lay flat to dry.
Drawcord has come out of the hood.
Use a safety pin or a bodkin to thread the drawcord back through the hood channel. Attach the pin to one end of the drawcord and push it through the channel until it emerges on the other side. Ensure both ends are even before tying a knot.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the quality, shape, and longevity of your fleece hoodie. Given its blend of cotton, recycled polyester, and viscose, please follow these general guidelines. Always check the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Using cold water helps preserve the fabric and color.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, lay flat to air dry. High heat can cause shrinkage or damage to the fleece fibers. If tumble drying, remove promptly to prevent wrinkles.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, inside out, and avoid ironing directly over any printed logos or stripes.
- Storage: Store folded or hung in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.
