Full details

FAQs

What does 'garment-dyed' mean?

Garment-dyed means the sweatshirt is dyed after it has been fully constructed. This process results in a softer feel and a unique, often slightly faded or washed appearance that can vary slightly between pieces.

How does the 'balloon fit' differ from a standard fit?

The balloon fit is intentionally oversized and boxy, characterized by dropped shoulders and a wider body silhouette. It provides a relaxed, modern look compared to a traditional, more fitted sweatshirt.

Is this sweatshirt warm enough for winter?

The heavyweight cotton construction offers good warmth for cooler weather, but for very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer piece combined with a heavier outer jacket.

Can I machine dry the sweatshirt?

No, it is recommended to dry the sweatshirt in the shade. Machine drying, especially with heat, can cause shrinkage and damage the garment-dyed finish.

How do I care for the woven label?

The square woven label on the left chest should be treated the same as the rest of the garment according to the care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the label.

What sizes are available?

This model is available in various sizes, including XS, S, M, L, and XL. Please refer to the product's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Sweatshirt appears to shrink significantly after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and air-drying in the shade as per the care instructions. Avoid high heat from washing machines or dryers.

Color seems uneven or faded.

This is a characteristic of the garment-dyed finish, intended to give a unique, washed look. If the variation is extreme, check care label compliance.

Ribbed cuffs/hem losing elasticity.

Avoid over-stretching the ribbed areas. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed to maintain fabric integrity.
