FAQs
Is the sweatshirt suitable for winter?
It is great as a layering piece under a heavier coat for winter, but is intended primarily for mild to cool transition seasons.
Does the cotton shrink in the wash?
The sweatshirt is made from quality cotton that is machine washable, but we recommend washing on cool cycles to prevent any potential shrinkage.
Can my child wear this for school?
Yes, its smart-casual look makes it an excellent choice for a comfortable school layer.
How do I choose the right size?
The size 5 is designed for an average 5-year-old child; consult local sizing charts if you are between sizes.
Is the material itchy?
No, it is crafted from soft, comfortable cotton designed specifically for children's sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing slightly worn after heavy play
Small pulls or lint can be removed with a fabric shaver to refresh the appearance of the cotton.
Zipper feels slightly stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and rub a small amount of clear beeswax or a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to lubricate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this garment; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the longest life for your sweatshirt, we recommend following these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a standard cool or warm cycle with similar colours.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric fibres, though the sweatshirt is durable enough for occasional tumble drying on low heat.
- Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the garment to keep the striped fabric looking crisp.
- Storage: Fold the sweatshirt rather than hanging it for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the shoulder seams.
