FAQs
What is Macaroni fabric?
Macaroni fabric is a unique, textured blend of cotton and polyester, exclusive to Weird Fish. It's known for its comfort, durability, and distinctive feel, making it a popular choice for their casual wear.
Is this hoodie suitable for winter?
While it provides warmth, the Chicoa Full Zip Macaroni Hoodie is best suited for cooler spring/autumn days or as a layering piece in winter. For very cold conditions, it should be worn under a heavy coat or jacket.
Does the hoodie contain recycled materials?
Yes, this hoodie incorporates recycled polyester as part of Weird Fish's commitment to sustainability. The Macaroni fabric itself is a blend of cotton and polyester.
How should I wash this hoodie to prevent shrinkage?
To prevent shrinkage, machine wash the hoodie in cold water on a gentle cycle. It is best to air dry by laying it flat, or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone or keys?
Yes, the two hand slip pockets are designed to be practical for storing small essentials like a phone, keys, or a wallet securely.
Is the printed lining durable?
The printed hood lining and cuffs are designed to be durable with regular wear and proper care. To maintain their quality, avoid harsh washing chemicals and high heat when drying.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding high heat in the dryer. Air drying or tumble drying on low can help maintain fabric softness. Consider using a fabric softener if desired, but check care label first.
Zipper snags or is difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling can occur with wear and washing. Use a fabric shaver or a pilling comb to gently remove pills. Washing inside out and avoiding harsh abrasion can help reduce pilling.
Hoodie seems to have shrunk
This often results from washing in hot water or drying on high heat. Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low or air dry to prevent shrinkage.
