By Parra Balloon Logo Cross-Grain Crewneck - Our FAQs

1. What makes 430gsm fleece different from standard sweatshirt material? At 430gsm, this organic cotton fabric is significantly thicker, heavier, and more insulating than average lightweight fleece tops.
2. How does cross grain construction help prevent shrinkage? By cutting the fabric across the grain rather than lengthways, the garment is prevented from shortening vertically in the wash.
3. Is the chest logo printed onto the sweater? No, the graphic is crafted using detailed multi coloured applique embroidery for a raised, tactile finish.
4. Does this pullover feature flexible side panels? Yes, ribbed side inserts are built in to provide extra stretch and comfort as you move.
5. How should I dry this jumper to keep its shape? Air drying naturally on a flat surface or washing line is recommended to avoid heat shrinkage from a tumble dryer.
