Men's Gradient Zip Up Drop Shoulder Hoodie

How to measure

For accurate garment measurements, zip the hoodie closed and lay it flat on a smooth surface. Use a soft tape measure and keep it relaxed (do not stretch the fabric).

• Chest (pit-to-pit): Measure straight across the front 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from one side seam to the other. Double that number to get the chest circumference.
• Body length (HPS): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar seam) straight down to the bottom hem.
• Sleeve length: For consistent results with a drop-shoulder style, measure from the center back of the neck (base of the collar) out across the shoulder and down to the end of the cuff. Alternatively, measure from the sleeve attachment point to the cuff.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. If seams sit low (drop shoulder), measure from the points where the sleeve meets the body across the back.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for the hem circumference.
• Hood depth: Measure from the center back seam at the neckline to the outer edge of the hood.
• Cuff width: Measure the cuff flat, then double if you need the full circumference.

Tip: Compare these flat measurements to a similar hoodie you already own to determine the best size. Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Typical construction and why it matters:

• Main fabric: 80% cotton / 20% polyester brushed fleece or French terry — soft next to skin, warm, holds gradient dye and resists excessive shrinking.
• Ribbing (cuffs & hem): 95% cotton / 5% elastane — keeps cuffs and hem snug and helps maintain shape.
• Hood lining: Same brushed-face fleece or single-layer French terry for comfort without extra bulk.
• Hardware: Quality zipper (often YKK or equivalent), reinforced seams at stress points for durability.

Note: Exact fiber content and hardware can vary by color or batch—always check the sewn-in care label for the precise composition of your garment.

Model & fit

Fit profile and sizing guidance:

• Fit: Relaxed drop-shoulder silhouette with laid-back drape.
• Model details: Height 6'1" (185 cm), chest 38" (97 cm), wearing size M in the photo.
• Sizing advice: True to size for a relaxed look. Size down for a more fitted silhouette, size up for an oversized/layered look.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Zip up and turn the hoodie inside out before washing to protect the gradient finish and zipper.
2. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and strong stain removers.
3. Avoid fabric softeners (they can affect breathability and finishes).
4. Tumble dry low or, preferably, reshape and lay flat to dry to minimize shrinkage and preserve shape.
5. Iron on low heat only if necessary; avoid ironing directly over hardware, trims, or printed areas.
6. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pilling. Repair small pulls or loose threads promptly to prevent further damage.
7. Store folded or on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading of the gradient.
8. For color retention, wash infrequently and spot-clean when possible; consider a color-catcher sheet when washing mixed loads.

Style tips

Ways to wear the gradient drop-shoulder hoodie:

• Casual everyday: Pair with slim dark denim and white low-top sneakers for a balanced, clean look.
• Athleisure: Match with tapered joggers and performance sneakers; add a lightweight bomber or puffer vest for cool-weather layering.
• Layered fall outfit: Wear under a tailored overcoat or wool jacket and let the hood sit outside the collar for a relaxed layered effect.
• Smart-casual twist: Team a neutral-gradient hoodie with chinos and leather sneakers or desert boots to elevate the outfit.
• Accessories: Keep it minimal—beanie, cap, watch, or a simple backpack. Coordinate accent colors with the gradient for cohesion.
• Proportion tip: Because of the relaxed shoulder, balance volume by choosing narrower bottoms (slim jeans, tapered joggers) for a modern silhouette.
