FAQs
What does 'velour soft fleece' mean?
It refers to a specific finishing process applied to the cotton jersey fleece that gives it an exceptionally smooth, soft, and slightly plush texture, similar to velour, enhancing comfort.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for winter?
With its 380gsm cotton fleece, it provides good warmth for cooler weather, making it suitable for autumn and spring, or as a mid-layer in winter.
How does the 'garment dye' affect the color?
Garment dyeing means the entire garment is dyed after construction, resulting in a richer, more even color that often has a unique, slightly faded or tonal appearance. It can also lead to slight variations between individual items.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry it on a low setting. However, for best results and to maintain the fabric's integrity and size, hang drying is recommended.
What is the fit like?
The sweatshirt features a 'regular fit' and a 'relaxed fit', meaning it is designed to be comfortable and not too tight, allowing for easy movement and layering.
How do I know if the size XL will fit me?
Refer to Stan Ray's general sizing chart for apparel. The XL is designed for adult wear with a regular fit. Consider the relaxed cut when assessing your preferred fit.
What is the difference between this and a standard crew neck sweatshirt?
The primary differences lie in the premium 'velour soft' feel of the 380gsm cotton fleece and the unique tonal look achieved through garment dyeing, offering a more luxurious and distinct aesthetic compared to standard sweatshirts.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Always follow the care instructions. Use cold water for washing and opt for hang drying or tumble drying on a low setting to minimize shrinkage.
Color fading or bleeding
Wash with like colors only, especially for the first few washes, as garment-dyed items can sometimes bleed. Use a mild detergent and cold water.
Loss of softness
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes reduce the absorbency and texture of cotton. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore some softness.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling can occur with natural fibers. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid over-drying. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove pills.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As an apparel item, the Stan Ray Patch Crew Sweat requires no setup. It is compatible with standard clothing care practices. To maintain the integrity and softness of the fabric, it is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry for best results and to minimize shrinkage. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, which can damage the cotton fibers and affect the garment-dyed color. Iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct heat on any printed or patched areas if applicable (though this specific model does not mention patches, it's a general care tip for similar garments).
