Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals seeking a stylish and comfortable casual top. The key benefit is the premium French terry fabric and iconic Polo Bear design, offering a blend of softness and classic style. A potential caveat is the 'shrunken fit,' which runs closer to the body than standard hoodies, so checking measurements is advised. This slim-fit sweatshirt features a drawstring hood, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a distinctive printed Polo Bear graphic on the chest, designed to hit at the hip.

FAQs

What does 'shrunken fit' mean?

'Shrunken fit' indicates that the garment is designed to fit closer to the body than a classic fit and may have a slightly shorter length. It's intended to provide a more tailored and modern silhouette.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the brand and compare it with your body measurements. The product description notes that a size medium has a front length of 23.75" and a sleeve length of 32.75" (from the center back of the neck).

What material is the hoodie made of?

The main body of the sweatshirt is crafted from soft French terry cotton. The body and hood lining are made of 80% cotton and 20% polyester.

Can I put this sweatshirt in the dryer?

It is recommended to tumble dry on low heat or hang dry for best results to maintain the fabric's quality and prevent shrinkage. High heat can cause the garment to shrink further.

How should I clean the printed Polo Bear graphic?

To protect the graphic, wash the sweatshirt inside out in cold water and avoid high heat. It's best to air dry or use a low tumble dry setting. Do not iron directly on the print.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?

This sweatshirt is made from French terry, which provides moderate warmth. It is best suited for mild to cool weather and can be layered for colder conditions.

Where is this product made?

This product is imported.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the fabric

This can sometimes occur with French terry. Ensure you are washing inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding high heat when drying. Pilling can be gently removed with a fabric shaver.

Shrinking after washing

While designed with a 'shrunken fit,' excessive heat during washing or drying can cause further shrinkage. Always follow the care instructions, using cold water and low heat or air drying.

Graphic fading or cracking

To preserve the printed graphic, wash the sweatshirt inside out, use cold water, and avoid harsh detergents. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is recommended. Avoid ironing directly on the graphic.
