FAQs
What is the main material of the Chicoa Hoodie?
The Chicoa Hoodie is primarily made from a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, creating the distinctive Macaroni fabric.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold winter weather?
While warm and comfortable, it is designed as an 'alternative to a jacket' for 'funny weather days'. For very cold winter weather, it's best used as a layering piece under a heavier outer coat.
How do I properly wash my Chicoa Hoodie?
It is recommended to machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Always refer to the care label inside your specific garment for the most accurate instructions. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is advised.
What does 'Eco Macaroni' mean?
'Eco Macaroni' refers to the iconic Macaroni fabric being produced using more sustainable materials: organic cotton and recycled polyester. It's a step towards more environmentally friendly garment production.
Does the hoodie have pockets?
Yes, the Chicoa Full Zip Hooded Hoodie features two convenient hand slip pockets.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design and is not detachable.
Can I iron this hoodie?
If necessary, you can iron the hoodie on a low setting. However, avoid ironing directly over any printed areas or embellishments.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight or too loose.
Verify the size against a brand-specific size guide. Ensure you selected your correct UK women's dress size (e.g., 10).
Zipper feels stiff or snags.
Gently rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric appears to be pilling (small balls of fiber).
Pilling can occur with wear and friction. Use a fabric shaver or a pilling comb to gently remove pills. Washing the garment inside out and air drying can help minimize pilling.
Color fading after washing.
Ensure you are washing with cold water (30°C) on a gentle cycle and with similar colors. Avoid direct prolonged exposure to strong sunlight during drying, which can also cause fading. Do not use bleach.
