FAQs

What is Belcoro® yarn?

Belcoro® yarn is a specific type of yarn used by Fruit of the Loom that is designed to provide a softer feel and a cleaner, more consistent surface for printing.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for very young children?

Yes, the soft feel of the Belcoro® yarn makes it comfortable for children of all ages, including young kids. Always check the size guide for the best fit for your child.

Can I iron this sweatshirt?

You can iron the sweatshirt, but avoid ironing directly on any decorated or printed areas. Use a medium heat setting.

What is the difference between this and a standard sweatshirt?

The key difference lies in the use of Belcoro® yarn for a softer feel and improved printability, and the cotton/lycra® ribbing for better shape retention compared to standard elastic or ribbed materials.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the product's size guide, which typically provides measurements for chest, length, and sleeve. As it's a unisex fit, consider if a more relaxed or snug fit is desired.

What is the fabric weight?

The fabric weight is 280g/m², which is considered a medium to heavy weight, providing good warmth and durability.

Can this be used for work uniforms?

Yes, its durable fabric, comfortable fit, and printable surface make it suitable for customisation as part of work uniforms, especially for teams or organizations.

Troubleshooting

Shrinkage after washing

Ensure washing is done at recommended temperatures (max 40°C) and avoid high heat drying. Tumble dry on a medium setting or air dry to minimize shrinkage.

Pilling on fabric surface

Wash inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or towels. Using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent can also help.

Loss of shape or elasticity

Follow care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing and drying. The cotton/lycra® ribbing is designed for shape retention, but extreme heat can degrade the elasticity over time.

Print quality is poor after washing

Ensure the garment was properly prepared before printing and that the chosen printing method is suitable for the 80% cotton, 20% polyester blend. Use appropriate curing temperatures and times for the print.
