Details and Care Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane Colour: Gray Care instructions: Machine wash cold Frequently Asked Questions Does this sweatshirt keep its shape after washing, or will the fleece degrade? The 5% elastane content helps the fabric recover its form after each wash cycle, keeping the ribbed cuffs and crew neck tight rather than sagging. Washing cold and air drying will extend the fabric's life considerably. Is this sweatshirt suitable for year-round wear, or is it strictly a cooler-weather piece? The mid-weight fleece construction makes it best suited for autumn and spring layering. In warmer months it works well indoors or in air-conditioned environments. Should I size up if I prefer a more relaxed fit, or does the regular fit already allow room to layer? The regular fit is cut with enough ease to layer over a lightweight shirt without feeling restrictive. If you are between sizes, staying with your usual size is the better choice here.
