Men's Contrast Star Hooded Zip Up Hoodie — Measuring, Materials, Model, Care & Style

How to measure

For the most accurate fit, measure a similar hoodie that fits you well or measure the garment flat laid on a smooth surface. Zip closed and smooth out wrinkles — do not stretch the fabric.

1. Chest (pit to pit): Measure 2.5 cm (1 in) below the armhole from one side seam to the other. Double that value to get chest circumference.
2. Body length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where shoulder seam meets the neck) straight down to the bottom hem.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (If the hoodie has raglan sleeves, measure from the centre back of the neck along the shoulder and down the sleeve to the cuff.)
4. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
5. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem from side seam to side seam.
6. Hood depth (optional): With the hoodie zipped, measure from the base of the neck seam to the highest point of the hood.

Tips: record measurements in inches and centimetres (1 in = 2.54 cm). Round to the nearest 0.5 in (1 cm) and compare with the product size chart. If you’re between sizes, consider your preferred fit (size up for layering, size down for a slimmer look).

Materials & construction

Typical materials and features for this style (exact composition may vary by color/season — always check the garment label for definitive details):

• Main body: Cotton-rich brushed fleece (commonly ~80% cotton / 20% polyester). Soft brushed interior for warmth and comfort; durable smooth face.
• Contrast panels / star detail: Polyester or polyester-blend applique/print for colorfast contrast and clean edges.
• Rib cuffs & hem: Cotton-elastane rib (often 95% cotton / 5% elastane) for recovery and shape retention.
• Zip & hardware: Sturdy metal or nylon-coil zipper; metal aglets or plastic tips on drawcords.
• Construction notes: Reinforced seams at shoulders and pockets, double-needle hems, pre-washed/preshrunk options, anti-pilling finishes may be applied.

Model & fit

Example model details (for reference): model is 6'1" (185 cm) with a 38–39" (96–99 cm) chest and is pictured wearing a size M. The hoodie in this listing fits as a regular/true-to-size zip-up; if you plan to layer thicker garments underneath, choose one size up.

Fit tips: for a slimmer, tailored look choose your usual size or size down if between sizes; for a relaxed, layered fit choose one size larger.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the hoodie inside out and zip up before washing to protect hardware and any printed/appliqué details.
• Machine wash cold (30°C / gentle cycle) with like colours. Use a mild detergent.
• Do not use bleach or harsh stain removers. Avoid fabric softener on printed or treated areas (it can reduce durability of prints and finishes).
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, reshape and lay flat / hang to dry to reduce shrinkage and protect the fabric. Remove promptly from dryer to avoid over-drying.
• Iron inside out on low heat if needed — avoid direct heat on prints, appliqués, or embroidered areas.
• For pilling: wash inside out, avoid excessive friction in the dryer, and use a fabric shaver to remove pills safely.
• Store folded or on a padded hanger; avoid long-term hanging on thin hangers to prevent shoulder stretching.
• Treat stains quickly: blot (don’t rub) with a mild detergent solution and rinse.

Style Tips

• Casual weekend: pair with slim or straight-leg jeans and clean white sneakers — keep the zip partially open to show a contrast tee underneath.
• Athleisure: team with tapered joggers and performance trainers; choose matching or neutral tones for a cohesive look.
• Layered street look: wear under a denim or bomber jacket so the hood and star contrast peek out for added detail.
• Smart-casual twist: wear over a plain tee with chinos and desert boots; keep the hoodie zipped halfway for a neat silhouette.
• Color coordination: let the contrast star be the focal point — balance with neutral bottoms or pick up the accent color in shoes or a cap.
• Pro fit tip: if you’re wearing the hoodie as a mid-layer under a coat, size up slightly to maintain comfort and mobility.
