Is this sweatshirt true to size?
Yes, this sweatshirt is designed with a classic fit and generally fits true to size, offering a comfortable and regular silhouette.
How should I wash this sweatshirt to ensure its longevity?
We recommend machine washing it with similar colors on a gentle cycle using cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat to air dry to maintain its shape and fabric integrity.
Can I iron the sweatshirt, and what about the logo?

Does the half-zip collar provide warmth?
Yes, the stand-up collar with half-zip fastening can be zipped up to provide additional warmth and protection around the neck, or opened for ventilation and a more relaxed look.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for all seasons?
Its pure cotton construction makes it a versatile layering piece suitable for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, or as a comfortable indoor layer during cooler weather. It's generally not designed as a primary cold-weather outer garment.
Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a fabric softener during the wash cycle. Air drying flat rather than tumble drying can also help maintain the fabric's natural softness.
Embroidered logo appears wrinkled or creased
When ironing, avoid direct contact with the logo. Iron around it or place a thin cloth over the embroidery before gently pressing with a low heat iron.
Sweatshirt seems to have shrunk slightly
Always machine wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. High heat can cause cotton garments to shrink. Gently reshape the garment while damp if air drying.
Color appears faded after washing
To preserve color, always wash in cold water with similar colors and use a detergent designed for colored garments. Avoid direct prolonged sunlight when drying.
