FAQs

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, this sweatshirt is designed with a standard regular fit, consistent with typical men's sizing.

Can this be worn over a collared shirt?

Absolutely, the half-zip design makes it an excellent choice for layering over a button-down collar for a preppy, layered look.

Is the material breathable?

The cotton-polyester blend provides a good balance of warmth and breathability, suitable for all-day wear.

Does the logo fade after washing?

When washed according to the care instructions, the embroidery is designed to retain its color and shape.

Does it shrink in the dryer?

To prevent shrinkage, it is strongly recommended to air dry the garment rather than using a tumble dryer.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track; applying a small amount of clear candle wax or pencil graphite can lubricate the teeth.

Fabric appearing fuzzy after wash

Avoid washing with abrasive materials like towels or denim, and consider using a delicate laundry bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a ready-to-wear garment, no complex setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the cotton-polyester fabric and the embroidery, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors at a low temperature.
  2. Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent fabric shrinkage and preserve the shape of the elasticated cuffs.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, avoiding direct contact with the embroidered shield logo.
  4. Storage: Fold the sweatshirt to store in a drawer rather than hanging it for extended periods, as this helps maintain the structure of the shoulder seams.
