How many pockets does this sweatshirt have in total?
The sweatshirt features a total of five pockets: one on the chest, two on the sides, and one hidden pocket on the sleeve.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
The sweatshirt is lined with warm Teddy Sherpa and constructed from a substantial bonded fabric, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering might be recommended.
What is the material composition of the sweatshirt?
The outer layer is 65% cotton and 35% polyester with a water-repellent coating. The inner lining is 100% polyester Teddy Sherpa.
Can I machine wash and dry this sweatshirt?
Yes, you can machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat and bleach to preserve the fabric's properties.
What does 'bonded fabric 600g/m²' mean?
This refers to the weight and construction of the fabric. A higher g/m² (grams per square meter) generally indicates a thicker, more substantial fabric. 'Bonded' means layers of fabric are joined together, often to add insulation or structure.
How should I choose the correct size?
Refer to the product's specific size chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer, as sizing can vary. Measure your chest and sleeve length for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Shrinking after washing.
Ensure you followed the care instructions: wash cold and avoid high heat drying. If significant shrinkage occurred, check the size chart again for future purchases and consider a size up.
Water-repellency seems reduced.
This is normal wear over time. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for outdoor fabrics, following the product's instructions. Avoid fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede water repellency.
Sherpa lining is matted.
Gently brush the lining with a soft-bristled brush after drying to restore loft. Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying.
