FAQs

Is the hood safe for young children?

Yes, it is specifically designed without drawcords to comply with European safety legislation for childrenswear.

What does Belcoro yarn mean?

Belcoro yarn is a high-quality material that produces a softer garment and a cleaner surface, which is superior for printing custom designs.

Does this jacket shrink in the wash?

As with most cotton garments, some minor shrinkage can occur. Washing in cool water and avoiding high-heat drying helps mitigate this.

Can I print my own logo on this jacket?

Absolutely. The covered metal zip and smooth cotton surface are specifically designed to be printer-friendly.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features two convenient front pouch pockets.

Is the fit oversized or slim?

This specific model provides a standard, comfortable fit suitable for general daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing fuzzy after many washes

This is normal for cotton; consider using a fabric shaver or washing on a shorter cycle to reduce abrasion.

Zipper feels stiff

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the teeth to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Fruit of the Loom Hooded Sweatshirt Jacket is a standard pullover-style design, it requires no assembly. For compatibility, ensure you verify the sizing; this model is optimized for children sized 7-8. Regarding care, to maximize the life of the cotton fabric and maintain the integrity of the ribs, follow these steps: 1. Machine wash on a cool setting (30-40 degrees Celsius). 2. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the exterior fabric. 3. Avoid tumble drying at high heat to minimize potential shrinkage. 4. Use a gentle detergent without harsh bleach to preserve the original color.
