Full details
The Scruffs Trade Hoodie in Graphite (Medium) is designed for adult males seeking a durable and comfortable mid-layer for various weather conditions. Its key benefit is the combination of warmth retention, flexibility, and enhanced durability thanks to abrasion-resistant panels.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Abratect™ panels?
The Abratect™ panels are reinforced areas, typically on cuffs and elbows, designed to withstand abrasion and wear, significantly increasing the hoodie's lifespan in high-stress zones.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
The hoodie provides good warmth due to its brushed fleece, making it suitable as a mid-layer in cold conditions or a primary layer in cool weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulated garments is recommended.
What material is the hoodie made from?
The hoodie is made from a 300gsm brushed back fleece, consisting of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
Can I put this hoodie in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the hoodie on a low heat setting. However, air drying is recommended to best preserve the fabric's integrity and the performance of the fleece.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to standard sizing charts for men's apparel. The hoodie features ribbed hem, cuffs, and side panels for a flexible fit, but checking measurements against a size guide is advisable.
Is the high-neck collar adjustable?
The hoodie features an adjustable hood, and a high-neck collar design for comfort, but the collar itself is not individually adjustable beyond the hood's drawstrings.
What kind of items can I securely store in the zipped pockets?
The zipped pockets are suitable for securely storing small personal items like keys, a wallet, a phone, or small tools, preventing them from falling out during activity.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the ribbed side panels and cuffs for any signs of stretching or damage that might impede flexibility.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the hoodie was dried on a low heat setting or air-dried, as high heat can flatten the fleece fibers. Check that the brushed interior is clean and free of debris.
Abrasion-resistant panels showing wear
While designed for durability, extreme or prolonged abrasion can eventually affect these panels. Inspect for significant fraying or tearing; consider if the level of wear exceeds the product's intended use.
