Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This sweatshirt is cut with a classic, easy-wearing silhouette that offers a clean profile without being overly baggy
• We recommend taking your usual size for a true regular fit. The ribbed side panels allow the garment to move with you, accommodating different body shapes comfortably
• Be aware that the Uprisal collection is intentionally denser and heavier than standard high-street sweatshirts, providing a "premium weight" feel

Washing & Care Instructions

• To keep the colour looking fresh and to maintain the loft of the fleece, wash on a warm, gentle cycle
• The recycled blend handles a low-heat dryer well, though air-drying is always better for long-term fabric health and energy conservation
• Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the natural grey tones of the Gravel Heather finish and the integrity of the embroidered logo
• If the sweatshirt develops creases, use a cool iron setting. The recycled polyester content helps the fabric resist wrinkling naturally

Patagonia '95 Logo Uprisal Crew - Our FAQs

1. What does "100% Recycled" actually mean for this sweatshirt?
   It means every fibre in the body of the garment comes from a recycled source. The polyester comes from used PET bottles, and the cotton comes from garment factory scraps that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill.

2. Is the logo printed or embroidered?
   On this Uprisal model, the '95 Oval Logo is embroidered rather than screen-printed. This adds a textured, premium finish that is exceptionally durable and won't fade or crack over time.

3. How does this compare to a standard cotton sweatshirt?
   It is generally heavier and more wind-resistant than a 100% cotton tee or light sweater. The recycled polyester content also means it wicks moisture better and dries faster than pure cotton.
