FAQs

What does 'Regular fit' mean for this hoodie?

Regular fit means the hoodie offers a comfortable, classic cut that isn't too tight or too loose, allowing for good freedom of movement and easy layering.

Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?

While the fleece material provides warmth, this hoodie is best suited for cool to mild weather or as a layering piece in colder conditions. For extreme cold, it should be paired with additional thermal layers.

What is 'recycled polyester' and 'renewable content'?

Recycled polyester is made from plastic waste, reducing the need for virgin petroleum-based materials. Renewable content refers to materials sourced from natural, sustainably managed resources. This hoodie contains a minimum of 70% of these environmentally friendly materials.

How should I wash this hoodie to prevent damage?

Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or air dry to maintain fabric quality and prevent shrinkage.

Can I iron this hoodie?

Yes, you can iron it on a low heat setting if necessary. However, avoid ironing directly over any printed graphics or the adidas logo, as this can damage them.

What is viscose and why is it in the fabric blend?

Viscose is a type of rayon fabric made from wood pulp. It adds softness, drape, and breathability to the fabric blend, enhancing comfort and wearability.

Does the hoodie come in other sizes or colors?

This specific guide is for the XXXL size in Beige/Black. However, the adidas ESSENTIAL THREE STRIPES FLEECE HOODIE line typically comes in a range of sizes and various color options, which might be available through the retailer.

Troubleshooting

Hoodie is pilling (small balls of fabric appearing)

Pilling is common with fleece. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or lint brush gently to remove them.

Color is fading after washing

Always wash with like colors and use cold water. Excessive detergent or harsh chemicals can also contribute to fading. Consider using a detergent designed for colors.

Hoodie feels stiff or less soft after drying

Avoid high heat when drying, as it can damage synthetic fibers and make cotton feel rough. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Using fabric softener (sparingly) might help, but avoid overuse.

Hoodie seems to have shrunk

Shrinkage often occurs due to high heat during washing or drying. Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low or air dry. If shrinkage has already occurred, gently stretch the damp garment to its original shape and allow it to air dry flat.
