FAQs
What does 'brushed back fleece' mean?
Brushed back fleece is a fabric construction where the yarns on one side of the fabric are brushed to create a soft, fuzzy nap, significantly increasing its warmth and comfort.
What is Y2K-inspired detailing?
Y2K-inspired detailing refers to design elements and aesthetics popular around the year 2000, often characterized by bold graphics, retro athletic influences, and a casual streetwear vibe.
How do the raglan sleeves improve comfort?
