FAQs
What material is the sweatshirt made from?
The sweatshirt is made from a cotton-rich fabric blend, designed for warmth, softness, and durability.
How should I wash this sweatshirt?
You can machine wash it at 40°C. It is designed to maintain its quality through regular laundering.
Will the black color fade easily?
The sweatshirt is designed with great color retention to resist fading, even with frequent washing.
What does 'low-pill' mean?
Low-pill means the fabric is treated or constructed in a way that reduces the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, keeping it looking smoother for longer.
Can this sweatshirt be tumble dried?
Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. For best results and to maximize longevity, air drying is also recommended.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for sensitive skin?
The cotton-rich blend offers comfort, but for extremely sensitive skin, parents may wish to consider the material composition. It is designed to be soft and non-irritating for general wear.
How does the sizing accommodate growth?
The sweatshirt features a regular cut and strengthened seams, designed to provide a comfortable fit that can accommodate some growth over time, offering better value.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt appears to have shrunk
Ensure the sweatshirt was washed and dried according to the care instructions (40°C wash, low heat tumble dry or air dry). Minor initial shrinkage can sometimes occur with cotton blends, but excessive shrinkage indicates deviation from recommended care.
Color fading quickly
Check if the washing temperature exceeds 40°C or if harsh detergents are being used. Washing darker colors separately may also help preserve the black hue.
Pilling (bobbling) on the fabric
While designed to be low-pill, excessive friction can contribute to pilling. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim. Gentle washing and air drying can help minimize this.
Ribbed cuffs losing elasticity
Ensure the cuffs are not stretched excessively when pulling the sweatshirt on or off. Avoid high heat drying, which can degrade elastic over time.
