FAQs
What does 'garment dyed' mean?
Garment dyeing means the product is dyed after it has been fully constructed. This process gives the fabric a unique, often softer feel and a distinct color depth that can vary slightly from piece to piece.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
The sweatshirt is midweight. While comfortable on its own in moderate temperatures, it is designed to be layered effectively for colder conditions. You may need a heavier jacket or additional layers for extreme cold.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart provided by Stone Island. The 'M' size corresponds to a Medium fit, and the design features raglan sleeves for a comfortable, relaxed silhouette.
Can I machine dry this sweatshirt?
Yes, you can machine dry it on a low heat setting. However, air drying or tumble drying on low is recommended to preserve the fabric quality and the vibrancy of the garment dye.
What is the difference between this and other Stone Island sweatshirts?

Troubleshooting
Color bleeding during washing
Ensure the garment is washed in cold water with like colors. For the first few washes, consider washing separately or with dark colors to minimize bleeding.
Fading of the garment dye
Avoid direct sunlight exposure for prolonged periods and wash with cold water. Tumble drying on high heat can also accelerate fading; opt for low heat or air drying.
Shrinkage after washing
Follow the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding water temperature and drying method. Air drying or low heat tumble drying will help prevent shrinkage.
