FAQs
What is the primary material of the sweatshirt?
The outer shell is made from 65% cotton and 35% polyester with a water-repellent surface coating. The inner lining is 100% polyester Teddy Sherpa.
How many pockets does this sweatshirt have?
It features a total of five pockets: one chest pocket, two side pockets, and one hidden pocket on the sleeve.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
The sweatshirt provides significant warmth due to its 600g/m² fabric and Sherpa lining, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions. For extreme cold, it can be layered with additional insulation.
Can I machine wash the sweatshirt?
Yes, you can machine wash it cold (30°C) with like colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
How should I dry the sweatshirt?
It is best to tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. High heat can damage the water-repellent coating and the Sherpa lining.
What does 'bounded fabric' mean?
Bounded fabric typically refers to a textile construction where two or more layers of fabric are bonded together, often with an interlining or membrane, to enhance performance characteristics like durability, warmth, or water resistance.
Is the water-repellent coating permanent?
The water-repellent coating is durable but can diminish over time and with repeated washing. Following care instructions and using fabric re-treatment products can help maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Sherpa lining is matted or less soft.
This can occur after washing and drying. Ensure you are using a low heat setting for drying and consider air drying. Gently brush the Sherpa lining with a soft brush or comb to help restore its loft.
Water repellency is reduced.
Wash the garment according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment spray to the outer fabric after washing and drying.
Shrinkage after washing.
Ensure the garment was washed in cold water and dried on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat in both washing and drying cycles to minimize shrinkage.
