Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this hoodie suitable for custom printing?

Yes, the smooth finish provided by the air jet yarn makes it an excellent surface for screen printing or heat transfers.

Does the hood fit well over a hat?

The double-layer hood is generously sized, allowing it to comfortably fit over most hats or beanies.

Is the fabric heavy?

It is classified as a midweight garment, offering a substantial feel that is warmer than a standard t-shirt but lighter than heavy-duty workwear jackets.

Will the hoodie shrink in the wash?

The fabric is pre-shrunk to minimize shrinking, though we recommend washing in cold water and drying on low-to-medium heat to ensure the best longevity.

Does it have a tag on the collar?

No, it features a tearaway label, providing a seamless and itch-free experience around the neck.

Are the materials ethically sourced?

Yes, the hoodie is produced in compliance with the Better Cotton Initiative and meets Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for safety and environmental responsibility.

Troubleshooting

Fabric surface shows small lint balls after extensive use

Use a fabric shaver or lint remover to gently remove pills; the air jet yarn is designed to minimize this, but friction over time is natural.

Drawcord pulled into the hood

Use a safety pin attached to the end of the cord to carefully feed it back through the eyelet channel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to pilling due to air jet yarn construction
  • Reinforced stress points with twin-needle stitching
  • Ethically manufactured to high sustainability standards
  • Pre-shrunk to prevent significant size changes after washing
  • Comfortable relaxed fit with a functional hood

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-intensity sweating or technical athletic use
  • Limited moisture-wicking compared to synthetic performance gear
  • Midweight material may feel bulky under slim-fit outer jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the hoodie comes pre-shrunk, no complex break-in period is required. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the lifespan of the garment, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Machine wash cold with similar colors.
  2. Use non-chlorine bleach only if necessary.
  3. Tumble dry on medium heat settings.
  4. Avoid ironing directly on any screen-printed designs if you choose to add custom branding.
  5. Store by hanging or folding; the durable ribbing is designed to maintain its shape during storage.
