Men's Full Size Half Zip Long Sleeve Sweatshirt — Product details

How to measure

Use a flexible tape measure. You can measure your body to pick the best size or measure a similar sweatshirt you already own (lay-flat) and compare. Record measurements in inches or centimeters.

Measure your body (for sizing)

1. Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits, keeping the tape level and comfortable (not tight).
2. Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back of the neck across the shoulder to the wrist.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
4. Body length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (next to the neck seam) straight down to the hem.

Measure the garment (lay-flat)

1. Chest (pit to pit): Lay the sweatshirt flat, smooth wrinkles. Measure straight across the chest 1" (2–3 cm) below the armholes from side seam to side seam; double that number for full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from seam to seam across the back.
3. Sleeve length (flat): Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
4. Body length (flat): Measure from the high point of shoulder to hem.

Fit guidance: If you want to wear layers underneath, add ~2" (5 cm) to your chest measurement for a comfortable fit or ~4" (10 cm) for a relaxed/oversized fit. If you are between sizes, size up for easier layering.

Materials

Half-zip sweatshirts like this typically use midweight knit constructions designed for comfort and durability. Common materials and components:

• Main fabric: Brushed fleece or French terry. Typical blends include 60% cotton / 40% polyester (soft, warm, shape-retaining) or 80–100% cotton for a more natural feel.
• Ribbing (cuffs & hem): Often cotton with a small percent of elastane/spandex (2–5%) for recovery and stretch.
• Zip hardware: Durable metal or molded-plastic zipper (many suppliers use YKK or equivalent quality zippers).
• Finishes: Pre-shrunk treatments, anti-pilling finishes and colorfast dyes are commonly applied; some versions use recycled polyester or organic cotton for a greener option.

What that means: cotton gives breathability and comfort; polyester improves durability, reduces shrinkage and speeds drying; elastane adds subtle stretch for movement and a better fit.

Model information

Standard-fit model (example): Height 6'1" (185 cm), chest 40" (102 cm), wearing size L.

Plus-size model (example): Height 6'0" (183 cm), chest 48" (122 cm), wearing size 2XL.

Fit note: The half-zip is designed for a classic casual fit. If you prefer a slimmer look, choose your regular size; for layering or a relaxed silhouette, pick one size up.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Close the zipper and turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing to protect the exterior and hardware.
• Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach.
• Avoid fabric softeners if the garment has moisture-wicking finishes. They can reduce performance over time.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, reshape and hang/lay flat to dry to reduce heat exposure and shrinkage.
• If ironing is needed, use a low temperature and iron on the reverse side, avoiding the zipper and any embellishments.
• To remove pilling, use a fabric shaver or pill comb gently. Store folded rather than hung for long periods if the fabric is heavy to avoid shoulder stretch.
• Always follow the specific care label on your garment if it differs from these general tips.

Style Tips

• Everyday casual: Half-zip zipped up with slim jeans and low-top sneakers for a clean sporty look.
• Layered look: Wear over a plain tee or a button-down shirt—zip halfway to reveal the layer underneath for interest.
• Smart-casual: Pair a neutral-colored sweatshirt (navy, gray, black, olive) with chinos and desert boots or loafers.
• Weekend athleisure: Combine with joggers and running shoes; choose coordinating neutrals for a streamlined outfit.
• Plus-size styling: Aim for proper shoulder fit and avoid excess bulk. Darker solids and vertical openings (partially zipped) create a longer silhouette. Balance proportions with straight-leg bottoms.
• Seasonal tips: Use as a midlayer under a lightweight jacket in fall or as a top layer on cool spring nights.
