FAQs
What is the primary material of this sweatshirt?
The sweatshirt is made from a cotton-rich blend, focusing on comfort, warmth, and durability for school wear.
How should I wash this Trutex sweatshirt?
You can machine wash it at 40 degrees Celsius. It's recommended to wash it inside out and with similar colors for best results.
Will this sweatshirt shrink after washing?
The Trutex sweatshirt is designed for minimal shrinkage. Following the care instructions, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods, will help maintain its original size.

Its cotton-rich fabric provides warmth, making it ideal for cooler weather or as a layering piece. It might be too warm for very hot climates on its own.
How does Trutex ensure the sweatshirt stays looking smart?
Trutex achieves this through superior color retention that resists fading and a low-pill fabric finish that prevents the surface from becoming fuzzy or worn-looking after regular use and washing.
What makes this sweatshirt durable for school use?
It features strengthened seams and ribbed cuffs designed to withstand the active nature of school life and frequent laundering, ensuring it lasts longer.
Can this sweatshirt be worn outside of school?
While designed primarily as a school uniform item, its comfortable and durable nature means it can be worn for casual activities, though its style is basic and school-focused.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you followed the washing instructions carefully, particularly the recommended temperature (40 degrees Celsius) and avoiding high heat drying. Trutex garments are designed for minimal shrinkage, so incorrect washing methods may be the cause.
Color has faded significantly.
Verify that the garment was washed with similar colors and that no harsh bleaching agents were used. Washing inside out can also help preserve color vibrancy. Check if a lower wash temperature is suitable for the specific wash cycle used.
Pilling has appeared on the fabric surface.
While designed to resist pilling, excessive friction or washing with abrasive materials can contribute. Try washing on a gentler cycle and avoid washing with items like towels or denim. Regular trimming of small pills with a fabric shaver can help maintain the smooth finish.
Seams are coming undone.
Trutex garments feature strengthened seams, but significant stress could cause them to fray. Inspect the seam area; if it's a minor unravelling, it may be repairable with a few stitches. For significant damage, consider if the garment has been subjected to excessive force.
