FAQs

What is Belcoro yarn?

Belcoro yarn is a high-quality spinning technology that creates a smoother, softer fabric surface that is particularly resistant to pilling and ideal for screen printing.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for printing?

Yes, the garment is specifically designed with a covered zip and a smooth fabric surface to ensure excellent printability.

Will this item shrink?

Like most cotton-rich garments, some shrinkage can occur if dried using high heat. It is best to air dry to maintain the original fit.

Does the hood have a drawstring?

Yes, it includes a self-coloured flat drawcord for adjustable coverage.

What material is the ribbing made of?

The waist and cuff ribs are constructed from a blend of cotton and Lycra for superior shape retention and elasticity.

Is the zip made of metal?

Yes, the sweatshirt features a covered metal zip for increased durability and a clean appearance.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub a bit of candle wax along the tracks to improve movement.

Visible lint or pilling

Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to remove surface fibers; wash inside-out in the future to reduce friction.

Garment feels tight after wash

This may be due to high heat drying. Always stretch the garment gently while damp and air dry to restore shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality Belcoro yarn feels soft and smooth
  • Lycra-reinforced cuffs and waist maintain shape
  • Full-length covered metal zip for easy layering
  • Excellent surface for printing or custom branding
  • Durable double fabric hood construction

Cons

  • Cotton-blend material may shrink if heat-dried improperly
  • Limited to adult sizing range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your sweatshirt, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (typically 40°C) with similar colors.
  2. Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage of the cotton-based fibers; if using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting.
  3. Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on any printed designs; turn the garment inside out if necessary.
  4. Storage: Fold the sweatshirt to maintain the integrity of the Lycra-reinforced ribs, or hang it on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent shoulder bumps.
