FAQs
What does 'shrunken fit' mean?
Shrunken fit means the garment is designed to fit closer to the body and may appear slightly shorter than a classic fit. It's pre-shrunk to maintain its shape after washing, but it runs smaller overall.
What material is this hoodie made of?
The body and hood lining are made of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, providing a soft French terry feel.
How do I wash the sweatshirt to maintain its quality?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) or dry clean. It's recommended to wash inside out to protect the print.
Can I tumble dry this hoodie?
Yes, you can tumble dry on low heat, but air drying or hanging to dry is recommended to best preserve the fabric and the printed graphic.
What is the origin of the Polo Bear graphic?
The 'Polo Bear by Ralph Lauren' print is an iconic graphic that has been a signature element of the brand since the early 1990s, often depicted in preppy American styles.
What size should I order if I prefer a looser fit?
Given the 'shrunken fit' and slim cut, it is advisable to order one size up from your usual size if you prefer a more relaxed or classic fit.
What are the measurements for a size Medium?
A size medium has a front length of 23.75 inches and a sleeve length of 32.75 inches. Sleeve length is measured from the center back of the neck.
Is the hood lined?
Yes, the hood is lined for added comfort and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Graphic fading or peeling
Ensure you are washing inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding high heat during drying. Do not iron directly on the graphic.
Shrinkage after washing
Always follow the care instructions, using cold water for washing and low heat or air drying. Avoid machine drying on high heat.
Fit is too tight
This is a slim-fit and shrunken design. Consider purchasing a size up for a more relaxed or classic fit. Review the size guide for specific measurements.
Ribbed cuffs feel too restrictive
The ribbed cuffs are designed for a snug fit to keep warmth in. If they feel too tight, ensure you have the correct size. Over time, they may loosen slightly with wear.
