Men's Gradient Zip Up Hoodie — Fit, Materials & Care

How to measure this product

To ensure the best fit, measure the finished garment while it is laid flat on a hard surface. Use a flexible tape measure and record values in both inches and centimeters when possible. For circumference values, measure flat and then double the number.

1. Chest (armpit to armpit): Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other. Double this flat measurement for full chest circumference.
2. Body length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to the bottom hem.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan sleeves measure from the center back of the neck to the end of the cuff.
4. Shoulder width: Measure straight across from one shoulder seam to the other.
5. Hood depth: Measure from the base where the hood meets the neckline to the furthest point of the hood (front to back).
6. Hem width: Measure flat across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
7. Cuff width: Measure flat across the cuff; double for circumference if required.

Tips: Smooth the fabric without stretching it, measure at least twice for accuracy, and note whether measurements are taken on a relaxed or stretched garment.

Materials & construction

Below are common materials and construction details for a gradient zip hoodie. Actual composition can vary by color and production run—always check the garment label for the precise breakdown.

• Typical shell: 60% cotton / 40% polyester mid-weight knit (brushed fleece interior for softness). Some versions may use 80/20 or other blends.
• Interior: Brushed fleece or soft french terry lining for comfort and warmth.
• Rib trims: Cuffs and hem commonly 95% cotton / 5% elastane for stretch retention.
• Zipper & hardware: High-quality zipper (often YKK) with a chin guard and reinforced zipper tape; metal or plastic aglets on drawcords.
• Gradient finish: Achieved via garment dyeing, dip-dye, or printed techniques. Colorfastness may vary—wash carefully the first few times.
• Sustainable options: Some batches may feature organic cotton or recycled polyester; check product specs if sustainability is a priority.

Note: If you require exact fiber percentages or certifications (organic/recycled), use the product tag or specification sheet as the final source.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow these care steps to protect the gradient finish, preserve color, and maintain shape:

• Close the zipper and turn the hoodie inside out before washing to protect the surface and hardware.
• Wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Wash separately or with similar colors for the first 2–3 washes to reduce the risk of dye transfer from the gradient.
• Avoid fabric softeners if the hoodie has performance finishes; fabric softener can reduce breathability.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry to avoid shrinkage. If using a dryer, tumble dry low and remove promptly to limit wrinkling.
• Iron inside out on low heat if necessary; avoid ironing directly over printed or dyed surfaces and hardware.
• Use a fabric shaver or sweater comb to remove pilling gently. Keep the garment away from abrasive surfaces (rough backpacks, Velcro) to minimize abrasion.
• Store folded rather than hanging on thin hangers, which can stretch the shoulder area over time.
• Spot-treat stains promptly with mild soap and cold water; test on a hidden area first if you are concerned about colorfastness.

Style tips

The gradient pattern makes this hoodie a focal piece—balance it with simpler items and use color pulls from the gradient for a cohesive look.

• Casual everyday: Layer over a plain tee, pair with slim jeans and clean sneakers for an effortless, modern outfit.
• Athleisure: Combine with tapered joggers and performance sneakers; wear zipped for a sporty aesthetic or open for a relaxed look.
• Layered fall look: Wear under a denim or suede jacket; leave the hoodie unzipped to show the layers and add texture.
• Smart-casual: Zip halfway over a lightweight button-down and pair with tailored chinos and desert boots to dress the hoodie up slightly.
• Color pairing: Pick one tone from the gradient for accents (cap, tee, or sneakers) and keep the rest neutral—navy, grey, black or khaki work well.
• Fit advice: For layering, size up. For a streamlined silhouette, stick to your usual size or size down if you prefer a snug fit.
• Accessories: Keep accessories minimal—beanies, understated watches, and low-profile backpacks complement the hoodie without overpowering it.
