Half Zip Long Sleeve Sweatshirt — How to measure

To choose the best size, measure a similar-fitting sweatshirt laid flat or take body measurements. Use a soft tape measure and a flat, smooth surface. All "flat" measurements below are taken with the garment lying flat; when stated, double the flat measurement to get the full circumference.

• Chest (laid flat → circumference): Zip the sweatshirt and smooth it flat. Measure straight across the chest 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from seam to seam. Double that number to get the chest circumference.
  Example: 21" (53 cm) across = 42" (106 cm) chest circumference.
• Body length (High Point of Shoulder, HPS): Measure from the HPS (the highest point where the shoulder meets the neckline) straight down to the bottom hem.
• Sleeve length (shoulder seam method): Measure from the shoulder seam (point where sleeve meets the shoulder) down the outside of the sleeve to the end of the cuff.
  Note: Some size charts use center-back neck → cuff measurements; check the size chart method and compare accordingly.
• Shoulder width: With the garment flat, measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Hem width (laid flat → circumference): Measure across the bottom hem from side to side and double to get the hem circumference.

Tips: Measure a garment that fits you the way you want this sweatshirt to fit (fitted vs. layered). If you plan to layer a thick tee or shirt underneath, add 1–2" (2.5–5 cm) to your chest measurement for comfort. All measurements are approximate—allow for +/- 0.5–1" due to fabric and manufacturing tolerances.

Materials & construction

Exact composition can vary by color and production batch—always check the product label for the final breakdown. Typical construction and features for a half-zip long sleeve sweatshirt:

• Main fabric (typical): Brushed fleece or loopback knit — commonly a cotton/polyester blend (example: 80% cotton / 20% polyester) for softness, durability and easy care.
• Ribbing: Ribbed cuffs and hem (often cotton with a small % elastane for recovery, e.g., 97% cotton / 3% elastane).
• Zip: Half-zip front with reinforced placket; high-quality metal or molded zipper (brands often use YKK or similar).
• Interior: Brushed/soft inner face for warmth and comfort; midweight construction suitable for layering.
• Finishes: Taped seams at the neck for durability, coverstitch hems, anti-pilling finishes may be applied to some versions.
• Sustainability notes: Some runs may use organic cotton or recycled polyester—see the product page for details.

Care guide — To keep it lovely longer

Follow these steps to preserve shape, color and texture.

• Wash: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Turn the sweatshirt inside out and zip it up to protect the zipper and outer face.
• Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh additives.
• Fabric softener: Avoid regular use of fabric softener; it can reduce the softness of some performance finishes and impair moisture-wicking properties.
• Dry: Best: reshape and lay flat to dry. If using a dryer, tumble dry on low and remove promptly to reduce wrinkles and shrinkage.
• Ironing: If needed, iron inside out on low heat; avoid ironing directly over the zipper or any prints/embroidery.
• Stains: Treat stains promptly—blot excess, pre-treat with a mild stain remover and launder as recommended. Test stain removers on a hidden area first.
• Pilling: To remove small pills use a fabric shaver or sweater comb gently. Prevent pilling by washing inside out and avoiding abrasive surfaces.
• Storage: Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Long-term hanging can stretch shoulder seams; fold to preserve shape.
• Dry cleaning: Generally not required—follow care label. If label permits dry cleaning, inform your cleaner about trims and zippers.

Style tips

Ways to wear your Half Zip Long Sleeve Sweatshirt for different occasions:

• Casual everyday: Half-zip pulled up for a clean neckline or zipped halfway for a relaxed look. Pair with slim jeans and white sneakers.
• Layered smart-casual: Wear over a button-down shirt so the collar peeks out; pair with chinos and desert boots or Chelsea boots for a polished weekend look.
• Athleisure / active: Pair with joggers or tapered sweatpants and performance trainers. Add a lightweight puffer vest for extra warmth.
• Office casual: Choose a darker color, zip neatly, and pair with tailored chinos and minimalist leather shoes for a refined casual office outfit.
• Color & texture tips: Neutral colors (navy, grey, black, beige) are versatile — mix textures (denim, wool coat) to add depth. For a pop, choose the sweatshirt as the accent color and keep the rest muted.
• Fit styling: For a modern look, try a slight front tuck into higher-rise trousers; roll sleeves once to reveal a layered shirt cuff underneath.

Quick styling rule: Balance proportions — if the sweatshirt is relaxed and boxy, pair with slimmer bottoms; if it’s more fitted, you can go slightly looser on the bottom for contrast.
