FAQs
What does 380gsm mean?
GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter.' A 380gsm fabric is relatively heavy and dense, indicating a durable and substantial material, which contributes to the sweatshirt's warmth and quality feel.
How do I care for the garment-dyed finish?
To maintain the unique color and soft feel, wash in cold water with like colors, inside out. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for warm weather?
The 380gsm fleece makes it a mid-to-heavy weight sweatshirt. It's best suited for cooler temperatures or as a layering piece. It might be too warm for hot weather.
What is the 'velour-soft handle'?
This refers to the extremely soft, plush texture of the fabric after the vintage washing process, similar to the feel of velvet or velour.
Can I machine dry this sweatshirt?
Yes, but it is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting to minimize potential shrinkage and preserve the fabric's softness and color. Air drying is the gentlest option.
Does the 'relaxed fit' mean it runs large?
The product description states it has a relaxed fit but runs regular for size. It's advisable to check the specific size chart provided by Stan Ray for accurate measurements.
How do I know if the color will match what I see online?
While efforts are made to display colors accurately, screen settings can vary. The garment-dyed process also means slight variations between individual pieces are normal and part of the product's unique character.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels stiff after washing.
This can happen with garment-dyed items. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting with a dryer sheet, or consider using a fabric softener specifically designed for cotton.
Color seems uneven or faded.
This is an intended effect of the garment-dyed and vintage-washed process, designed to give a unique, lived-in look. It is not a defect.
Shrinkage after washing.
Ensure you are washing in cold water and using the lowest possible heat setting for the dryer, or opt for hang drying. Pre-washing in cold water might help establish the final size.
Tag itchy or uncomfortable.
Carefully cut out the care label with a small pair of scissors. Ensure you do not cut the fabric itself. Alternatively, the tag may be designed to be removed without damaging the garment.
