FAQs
What is the primary material of this hoodie?
The hoodie is primarily made from 60% combed cotton and 40% polyester, with a fabric weight of 340 g/m².
How does the brushed inside benefit the wearer?
The brushed inside provides extra warmth and a soft, comfortable feel against the skin, making it ideal for cooler temperatures.
Is this hoodie suitable for outdoor work?
It is suitable for general wear and light-duty work. However, its color may fade with prolonged direct sunlight, and it's not designed for extreme weather conditions. For continuous outdoor use, specific workwear designed for UV resistance is recommended.
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?
This certification ensures that the textile product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health.
How should I wash the hoodie to maintain its quality?
Machine wash with colored items at 40°C. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Iron at a moderate temperature. Air dry in the shade.
Can this hoodie be worn by both men and women?
While specific variants might be recommended for women, the Unisex and general design of the hoodie makes it suitable for anyone, depending on the chosen fit and size.
What is the shrinkage rate of this hoodie?
The material has a maximum shrinkage rate of 5%. Following the recommended care instructions will help minimize any shrinkage.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too tight
Check the size guide to ensure the correct size was purchased. Consider the 'modern fit' which is designed to be closer fitting. If a looser fit is preferred, explore other product variants if available.
Color fading after a few washes
Ensure washing is done at 40°C with similar colors and avoid harsh detergents. Direct sunlight exposure during drying or storage can also cause fading; dry in shade.
Shrinkage after washing
Follow the care instructions carefully: wash at 40°C and do not tumble dry. Air drying is recommended to minimize shrinkage, which has a maximum tolerance of 5%.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If persistent, a small amount of wax or lubricant on the teeth might help.
