FAQs

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood features a flat lace drawcord that allows you to adjust the fit around your head for better wind protection.

Does this sweatshirt have side pockets?

Yes, it includes two front pockets designed for hand warmth and small item storage.

What does 280gsm mean?

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 280gsm weight indicates a medium-to-heavy fabric density, providing good durability and warmth.

Are the materials ethically sourced?

Yes, the garment holds certifications from the Better Cotton Initiative and the Fair Labor Association, ensuring responsible manufacturing.

Can I use this for athletics?

While intended for casual use, its fleece material and earphone loops make it suitable for light workouts or warm-up activities.

Troubleshooting

Zip becomes stuck or difficult to slide

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and consider running a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Visible pilling on the fabric surface

Use a fabric shaver or lint remover to gently lift away surface fibers caused by friction during wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable zip hardware
  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for cool weather
  • Ethically and sustainably sourced materials
  • Functional details like earphone loops and deep pockets

Cons

  • Cotton fabric may shrink if washed at high temperatures
  • Heavier 280gsm weight may feel too warm for summer use
  • Limited to specific color options within the collection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your sweatshirt in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature (30-40 degrees Celsius) to prevent excessive shrinking of the cotton fibers.
  2. Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the lifespan of the YKK zip. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, avoiding direct contact with the zip or drawcord hardware.
  4. Storage: Hang the sweatshirt on a broad-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and shoulder seams when not in use.
