FAQs
What is 'Eco Macaroni' fabric?
Eco Macaroni fabric is a specific blend developed by Weird Fish, incorporating organic cotton and recycled polyester. This combination aims to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the signature comfort and durability of their classic Macaroni fabric.
How should I wash my Chicoa Hoodie?
We recommend machine washing your hoodie inside out at 30°C with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Air drying is preferred to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape, but you can tumble dry on a low heat setting if necessary.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
The Chicoa Hoodie is designed as a versatile layering piece and a light jacket alternative, making it suitable for transitional seasons or mild cool weather. For very cold temperatures, we recommend layering it under a heavier, insulated coat.
What makes this product 'eco'?
This product is considered 'eco' due to its use of organic cotton, which is grown without harmful pesticides, and recycled polyester, which repurposes plastic waste. These choices reduce the environmental footprint compared to conventional materials.
Does it run true to size?
Generally, Weird Fish apparel is designed to run true to size. However, for the most accurate fit, please refer to the size chart available on the product page. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snug or relaxed).
Can I iron this hoodie?
Yes, you can iron the hoodie on a low heat setting. It's advisable to iron it inside out, especially to protect the printed hood lining and cuffs, and to avoid direct contact with the metal zip pull.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or is sticking
Gently rub a graphite pencil or a dry bar of soap along the zipper teeth on both sides. Slowly move the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric appears to be pilling (small balls of fiber)
Pilling is common with blended fabrics due to friction. Use a fabric shaver or a lint brush designed for removing pills. Gently run it over the affected areas to remove the fiber balls.
Color seems to fade after washing
Ensure you are washing the hoodie inside out on a cold or cool cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid excessive use of detergent and always wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
Hoodie feels less soft over time
Hard water or excessive detergent can sometimes affect fabric softness. Consider adding a small amount of white vinegar to the rinse cycle as a natural fabric softener, and ensure you're using the recommended amount of detergent.

- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric fibers and color.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
