Lyle & Scott Zip Through Hoodie - Black - 34

Loopback cotton refers to a type of knit fabric where the reverse side features small, unbrushed loops of yarn. This construction makes the fabric soft, absorbent, and breathable, providing comfort without excessive bulk.

The 100% cotton construction makes it ideal for spring, autumn, and cooler summer evenings. For colder winter months, it serves best as a comfortable mid-layer under a heavier jacket or coat.

To maintain the 'Regular Fit' and prevent stretching or shrinkage, follow the care instructions: wash cold, tumble dry low or air dry, and store folded or hung on a padded hanger.

It is best to avoid ironing directly over the embroidered logo. If ironing is necessary, turn the hoodie inside out and iron on a low setting, or carefully iron around the logo on the exterior.

The front pouch pocket will be cleaned adequately by simply washing the hoodie according to the general care instructions. Ensure the pocket is empty before washing.

While all colored garments can experience some fading over time, washing in cold water with a color-safe detergent and avoiding direct strong sunlight during drying will help preserve the black color for longer.

This is often due to washing at too high a temperature or excessive heat during drying. Always machine wash cold (30°C max) and tumble dry on low or air dry. If minor shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching it while damp.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, rub a graphite pencil (from a standard pencil) along both sides of the zipper teeth. This acts as a dry lubricant. Alternatively, a specialized zipper lubricant can be used.

Pilling can occur naturally with wear, especially in areas of friction. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller to gently remove the pills. Regularly washing inside out can also help reduce pilling.

To minimize fading, always wash your black hoodie with similar dark colors in cold water using a detergent specifically designed for dark garments. Avoid direct prolonged exposure to strong sunlight when drying.

To re-thread a drawstring, attach a safety pin to one end of the string. Feed the safety pin through the channel of the hood, gently pushing and pulling it along until it emerges on the other side. Knot the ends to prevent future slippage.
