FAQs

What type of material is the Sweetheart Fleece made from?

The fleece is made from 100% Polyester Symmetry fleece, which is known for being lightweight, insulating, and having an anti-pill finish. It is also 170gsm.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the size guide provided. Measurements for chest, total length, and sleeve length are given for the garment itself, not body measurements. For example, size 12 UK has a chest measurement of 36 inches (92cm).

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The fleece is described as lightweight and insulated, making it ideal as a midlayer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and wear a warmer outer jacket for optimal protection.

How is the fleece made sustainably?

The fleece is partially made by reusing plastic bottles, contributing to a more sustainable production process.

Can I wear this fleece for strenuous activities?

Yes, its lightweight and breathable properties make it suitable for activities like hiking. The quarter-zip allows for ventilation, and the quick-dry nature helps manage moisture.

What does 'anti-pill' mean?

An 'anti-pill' finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, ensuring the garment looks newer for longer.

How should I clean the fleece?

It is machine washable. Follow standard care instructions, typically a 40-degree wash, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fleece's properties. Try re-washing with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle.

Pilling has started to appear.

While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause pilling. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver or specialized de-pilling tool. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are followed.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for money.
  • Soft and comfortable against the skin.
  • Durable and resistant to pilling.
  • Versatile for layering in various weather conditions.
  • Made with recycled materials for sustainability.

Cons

  • Lighter weight may not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional layers.
  • Regular fit might be too relaxed for some preferences.
  • Quarter-zip offers limited ventilation compared to a full zip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. This is a ready-to-wear garment.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash the fleece using a mild detergent. Follow the care label instructions, typically a 40-degree wash.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry for best results. Avoid high heat which can damage the fabric.
