FAQs
What does 'unbrushed' mean for the cotton jersey?
Unbrushed cotton jersey means the inside of the fabric has not been brushed to raise the fibers. This results in a more durable, less fuzzy interior compared to brushed fleece.
How does pigment dyeing affect the color?
Pigment dyeing creates a deeper, more saturated color that can look slightly vintage and may vary slightly between dye lots. The color tends to become richer and more unique with wear and washing.
Is the hood warm enough for cold weather?
Yes, the hood is diamond quilted and lined with cushioning, providing an extra layer of warmth suitable for cooler temperatures.
What is the 'balloon fit'?
The balloon fit refers to a relaxed, oversized silhouette with dropped shoulders and a fuller body that tapers slightly towards the hem and cuffs, creating a distinctive shape.
Can I wear this hoodie in the washing machine?
Yes, the hoodie can be machine washed cold with like colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What is the difference between this and a standard hoodie?
The Nelson Hoodie stands out with its pigment-dyed coloring, diamond-quilted hood, and intentional oversized 'balloon fit', offering a more distinct aesthetic than a typical hoodie.
Does the kangaroo pocket have any special features?
The kangaroo pocket is a standard, spacious front pocket designed for hand warming and convenient storage of small items.
Troubleshooting
Color fading unevenly
This is a characteristic of pigment dyeing and contributes to the garment's unique look. For more uniform color, wash inside out in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Hood is too bulky
The diamond quilting does add some volume. Ensure the hood is adjusted correctly when worn. For storage, folding it neatly can help minimize its bulk.
Sizing feels too large
The Nelson Hoodie is intentionally designed with an oversized 'balloon fit'. If a less voluminous fit is desired, consider purchasing one size down from your usual size.
