Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This hoodie is cut with a classic athletic profile that allows for a t-shirt underneath without feeling restrictive
• We recommend staying true to your usual size for a clean, proportional look
• The fleeceback fabric ensures the hoodie doesn't look "limp," maintaining a sharp drape at the shoulders and a secure fit at the waist

Washing & Care Instructions

• To preserve the Vintage Black tone and the softness of the fleece, wash at 30°C with similar dark colours
• Always zip the hoodie to the top and turn it inside out before washing to protect the back graphic and prevent the zipper from snagging other garments
• Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can cause the cotton fibres to shrink and may degrade the fleece interior. Hang dry for best results

Gramicci Oval Patch Zip Hoodie - Our FAQs

1. Is this hoodie warmer than a standard sweatshirt?
   Yes. Because it uses "fleeceback" jersey (brushed on the inside), it has significantly more loft than a loopback French Terry, making it much more efficient at trapping body heat.

2. Will the back print crack?
   Gramicci uses high-durability inks that bond with the fabric fibres. By washing the garment inside out and avoiding the high heat of a tumble dryer, the graphic will remain flexible and crack-resistant.

3. Can the hood be worn comfortably over a cap?
   Absolutely. The drawstring hood is double-layered for extra structure and volume, providing ample room for headwear while shielding you from the wind.
