FAQs
What is 'Macaroni fabric'?
Macaroni fabric is a signature blend from Weird Fish, typically made from a mix of cotton and polyester. It's known for its unique texture, comfort, and durability, offering a balance of warmth and breathability.
Is this hoodie suitable for winter weather?
The Chicoa Macaroni Hoodie is designed as a versatile layering piece for transitional weather, like spring and autumn, or cooler summer evenings. While it provides comfortable warmth, it is not intended as a primary outer layer for harsh winter conditions or extreme cold.
How does the 'Eco' aspect contribute to sustainability?
This hoodie includes recycled polyester in its composition. By using recycled materials, it helps reduce waste and the demand for new virgin resources, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
Does the hood have an adjustable drawstring?
The product description mentions a 'printed hood lining' but does not indicate an adjustable drawstring. The hood is designed for comfortable coverage without adjustability.
Can I wear this hoodie for active sports?
While comfortable and breathable, this hoodie is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday activities rather than high-intensity sports. Its fabric blend is more suited for comfort and style than performance moisture-wicking during strenuous exercise.
How do I know what size to choose?
Please refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements. The provided size for this variant is UK Women's Dress Size 20, but checking the official size guide is always recommended for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric pilling or bobbling appears after wear/wash
Pilling can occur with some fabric blends. To minimize this, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or lint roller.
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, graphite from a pencil, or even a bar of soap along the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Garment seems to have shrunk or stretched
Always follow the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding wash temperature and drying methods. High heat drying can cause shrinkage, while improper hanging can lead to stretching. If machine drying, always use a low heat setting.
Printed hood lining or cuffs are fading
To protect printed elements, always wash the hoodie inside out. Avoid harsh detergents and direct ironing on the printed areas. Air drying can also help preserve print quality.

Care Instructions for Optimal Longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Using a gentle cycle is recommended to preserve the fabric's texture and integrity.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat to dry to prevent shrinking or stretching and maintain the garment's shape. Avoid high heat drying.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, avoiding any printed areas to prevent damage.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach, as this can damage the fabric and alter its color.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Hanging is generally fine, but folding can help maintain its shape over time.
Following these care steps will help maintain the quality and appearance of your Chicoa Macaroni Hoodie for many seasons.
