By Parra Half Flagged Zip Sweatshirt

Dense 450 gsm combed cotton fleece gives the By Parra Half Flagged Zip Sweatshirt in Grey a substantial, insulating structure that effortlessly tackles crisp seasonal air. Designed with Dutch creative Piet Parra's custom geometric flag panels set across the chest, this pull-over solves unpredictable transitional weather with a versatile funnel neck and half-length zip fastening, letting you adapt ventilation levels on the go.

Key Features

• Heavyweight pure combed cotton fleece with a soft brushed back for lasting thermal comfort.
• Cut-and-sew flag graphic panels pieced across the chest with high-density embroidered script.
• Funnel neckline with a smooth half-zip closure for adaptable air circulation.
• Custom branded zipper pull designed for quick handling even with cold hands.
• Robust 2x2 ribbed cuffs and waist hem to keep heat locked against the torso.
• Pre-shrunk fabric treatment to ensure structure and silhouette remain true after laundering.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Layering over lightweight t-shirts during crisp spring mornings and breezy autumn days.
• Pairing with loose-fit work trousers, selvedge denim, or cargo pants for relaxed weekend outings.
• Shedding wind chill on open-air city strolls, evening cycle commutes, and coastal wanders.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The brand notes that this garment is cut for a traditional relaxed fit with generous chest width.
• By Parra advises opting for your true menswear size to allow clean layering over a base jersey, or stepping up one size for a slouchier streetwear look.
• Wide set-in armholes ensure natural arm articulation without lifting the bottom hem.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Turn inside out and machine wash on a 30-degree gentle cotton programme with mild liquid detergent.
• Wash exclusively alongside similar grey or neutral garments to preserve the clean tonal fleece base.
• Pull back into shape while damp and dry flat naturally; avoid tumble drying and do not iron directly over the chest panels.

By Parra Half Flagged Zip Sweatshirt - Our FAQs

1. How heavy does this sweatshirt feel when worn? Crafted from dense 450 gsm fleece, it offers a thick, premium weight that functions well as standalone outerwear in dry cool conditions or a robust mid-layer in winter.
2. Will the chest flag details degrade after multiple washes? The graphic is built using precision cut-and-sew fabric inserts and tightly stitched direct embroidery, ensuring it will not peel, bubble, or crack over time.
3. Can I wear this comfortably against bare skin? Yes, the interior reverse is brushed to a soft, non-abrasive fleece finish that feels smooth against the skin.
4. Does the collar stay upright when unzipped halfway? The funnel collar is sewn with double-layered fabric so it retains enough structural rigidity to frame the neck neatly, whether partially open or fully zipped.
5. Are there side pockets included on this garment? This silhouette prioritises clean lines across the hem and flag paneling, so it comes without exterior side pockets to maintain a streamlined profile.
