Product Information
Full details
The Mascot Crossover Gimont Hoodie is designed for adults seeking a blend of comfort and durability, perfect for everyday wear or light work tasks. Its key benefit is the superior comfort provided by combed cotton and a brushed interior, offering warmth and a soft feel. A minor caveat is that prolonged direct sunlight exposure may cause color tone changes, suggesting it's best suited for indoor or moderate outdoor use rather than intense, prolonged sun exposure. This zip-through hoodie features a modern, slim fit, a lined hood, ribbed cuffs and hem for a snug fit, and two front pockets, making it a practical and comfortable addition to any wardrobe.

FAQs
What material is the Mascot Crossover Gimont Hoodie made of?
It is made from a blend of 60% combed cotton and 40% polyester, with a brushed interior for added softness and warmth.
How should I wash this hoodie?
You should wash it with coloured items at 40°C. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Iron at a moderate temperature.
Will the hoodie shrink after washing?
Yes, there is a maximum shrinkage of 5%. It is recommended to follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding drying, to minimize shrinkage.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
It provides good warmth due to its brushed interior and fabric weight (340 g/m²), making it suitable for cooler conditions. For extreme cold, it's best used as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.
What does the 'Oeko-Tex® Standard 100' certification mean?
This certification means the fabric has been tested and is free from harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for human health.
Can I wear this hoodie for outdoor work in the sun?
While comfortable, prolonged direct exposure to sunlight may alter the color tone. For continuous outdoor use in strong sun, a product specifically designed for such conditions is recommended.
What is the fit of this hoodie?
This specific variant has a 'Slim' fit, designed to be modern and close-fitting while allowing freedom of movement. It is available in 'Regular' fit variants as well.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you prefer a looser fit, consider trying a size up or a 'Regular' fit variant if available.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Gently try to realign the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught. If the issue persists, check for any debris in the zipper track and clean if necessary.
Fabric feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat drying, which can affect fabric texture. Air drying is recommended.
Color appears faded or changed after use.
This can occur with prolonged direct sunlight exposure. For continuous outdoor use, consider products designed for such conditions. Wash according to care instructions and dry away from direct sunlight.
