FAQs

Is this sweatshirt truly unisex?

Yes, the sweatshirt is designed with a unisex fit in mind, intended to be comfortably worn by individuals of any gender. However, due to variations in body shapes, consulting the size chart is recommended for the best fit.

How does the vintage treatment affect the appearance?

The vintage treatment involves a special washing process that gives the fabric a soft, lived-in feel and a slightly faded appearance. The distressed graphic print further enhances this retro aesthetic. This means each piece may have unique subtle variations.

What is 'heavy slub cotton fleece'?

Slub cotton is a type of cotton yarn that has thick, uneven sections, creating a textured appearance and feel. 'Heavy' indicates a substantial weight of the fabric, providing warmth and durability. 'Fleece' refers to the soft, napped finish on the inside of the fabric.

Can I wear this in warm weather?

While made of 100% cotton, the 'heavy' designation means this sweatshirt is best suited for cooler or mild weather. It can be comfortable in air-conditioned environments, but may be too warm for hot summer days.

How should I choose my size?

Refer to the specific size chart provided by Golden Goose for this garment. Measure your chest and body length and compare them to the chart. Given the unisex fit, consider how you prefer your sweatshirts to fit (e.g., more relaxed or fitted).

Is the distressed print durable?

The print is designed to have a distressed, vintage look. While durable under proper care, its aesthetic is intentionally worn. Following the care instructions, especially avoiding direct heat on the print, will help maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Color fading faster than expected

Ensure you are washing inside out in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying.

Graphic print cracking or peeling

Avoid direct ironing on the graphic. Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to care instructions, turning inside out for washing and avoiding high heat.

Shrinking after washing

Always follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is advised to minimize shrinkage.
