FAQs

Is the hood safe for school use?

Yes, this jacket is designed without a drawcord in the hood, which is a common safety requirement for children's school clothing.

Does the jacket shrink?

While the cotton construction is durable, it is best to avoid high-heat washing and drying to minimize any risk of shrinkage.

Can I have a logo printed on the front?

Absolutely. The covered metal zip design provides a clear, flat surface that is specifically optimized for printability.

What does the oversized fit mean for sizing?

The garment is cut with extra room. If your child is on the smaller side of the 5-6 age range, you may find it fits quite loose, though this is ideal for layering.

Is the zipper made of plastic or metal?

The jacket features a covered metal zip, which offers high durability compared to standard plastic alternatives.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub a pencil lead over the zipper teeth to lubricate them.

Excessive pilling after many washes

Wash the jacket inside out using a gentle cycle and avoid overloading the washing machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the hoodie in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the fabric and the metal zipper.
  2. Temperature: Use a cool or lukewarm water setting to maintain the integrity of the cotton fibers.
  3. Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage, though low-heat tumble drying is generally acceptable.
  4. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting, ensuring you avoid direct heat on any printed designs or the metal zip components.
  5. Storage: Hang the jacket or fold it neatly to maintain the shape of the hood and ribbing.
