By Parra Balloon Logo Cross-Grain Crewneck - Our FAQs

1. How heavy is the fleece fabric on this crewneck? At 430gsm, it is crafted from a high density organic cotton fleece, making it noticeably thicker and warmer than average sweatshirts.
2. What does cross grain construction mean for durability? The fabric is cut across the grain rather than down it, which prevents the garment from shrinking or warping vertically after washing.
3. Is the chest logo printed or embroidered? The balloon logo is applied using detailed multi colour applique embroidery for a premium tactile finish.
4. Does the sweater feel rough on the inside? The interior is fully brushed, giving it a soft fleece lining that feels comfortable against the skin.
5. Will the blue shade bleed in the wash? Washing on a cold 30 degree cycle inside out with similar colours ensures the rich blue dye remains bright.
