FAQs
What is 'Macaroni fabric'?
Macaroni fabric is an iconic Weird Fish material known for its unique, textured appearance and comfortable feel. In this eco version, it's blended with organic cotton and recycled polyester.
Is this hoodie suitable for cold winter weather?
The Chicoa Eco Macaroni Hoodie is designed as a versatile layering piece. It offers good warmth for cooler days and transitional weather but may require additional layers for very cold winter conditions.
How do I know which size to choose?
This hoodie is available in UK women's dress sizes. We recommend consulting the brand's specific size guide if available, and considering your usual dress size for outerwear. It is designed to be a comfortable, regular fit.
What makes this hoodie 'Eco'?
This hoodie is considered 'Eco' because it incorporates organic cotton, which is grown without harmful pesticides, and recycled polyester, which repurposes plastic waste into new fibers, reducing environmental impact.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone or keys?
Yes, the two hand slip pockets are designed to be practical for carrying small essentials like keys, a phone, or keeping your hands warm.
Can I wear this as a main jacket?
For mild to cool weather, this hoodie can serve as a fantastic alternative to a light jacket. For colder temperatures, wind, or rain, you may want to layer a more protective outer shell over it.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently rubbing a graphite pencil or a small amount of bar soap along the teeth to lubricate it.
Fabric appears to be pilling (small balls of fiber).
Pilling can occur with wear and washing. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling to gently remove them. Turning the garment inside out before washing can also help reduce pilling.
Hoodie feels less soft or comfortable after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting. Air drying can sometimes help maintain softness. Consider using a fabric conditioner designed for blended fabrics.
Color appears to be fading.
Always wash with cold water and similar colors. Avoid direct prolonged exposure to strong sunlight during drying. Use a color-safe detergent.
