Quarter Zip Top and Drawstring Pants Active Set | Black / S 100100528411844

How to measure

Measuring the garment (recommended when listing product dimensions)

1. Lay the piece flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Quarter‑Zip Top:
   • Chest (pit‑to‑pit): measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get full chest circumference.
   • Shoulder width: measure across the back from seam to seam.
   • Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (Alternatively: center‑back neck to cuff if that is your standard.)
   • Body length: measure from the high point of shoulder (HPS) at the base of the collar to the hem.
3. Drawstring Pants:
   • Waist: measure across the top of the waistband while flat (measure relaxed and then stretched if elastic); double to get circumference.
   • Hip: measure across the fullest part of the seat (usually ~7–9 cm / 3" below the waistband); double that value.
   • Front rise: from the top of the front waistband to the crotch seam.
   • Inseam: from the crotch seam to the leg hem.
   • Thigh: measure 2.5 cm / 1" below crotch seam across the leg and double.
   • Hem (leg opening): measure across the bottom hem and double.
4. Record units and stretch: Note whether measurements are taken relaxed or stretched. Use a soft tape measure and record both inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).
5. Tip: For stretch fabrics allow 1–3 in (2.5–7.5 cm) of ease in the chest/waist depending on intended fit (snug vs. relaxed).

How customers should measure themselves

• Bust / Chest: measure around the fullest part with the tape level and parallel to the floor. For tops wear a thin layer or sports bra.
• Natural waist: measure at the narrowest point above the belly button.
• Hips: measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
• Inseam: measure from crotch to ankle (or measure a pair of pants that fits you well from crotch seam to hem).
• Sleeve: with arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back of neck across shoulder to wrist or from shoulder seam to wrist depending on preferred reference.
• Fit guidance: Compare body measurements to garment measurements and choose size based on desired ease. If between sizes and unsure, size up for comfort or choose usual size for a closer fit.

Materials & fabric

Below are the common fabric types and components you'll typically find in a Quarter Zip Top and Drawstring Pants active set, and the features they give the garment. For the exact composition of this specific item, check the sewn‑in label or product spec on the product page.

Common fabric constructions

• Performance knit (most common) — typically polyester + elastane (example blends: ~85–92% polyester, 8–15% elastane). Properties: moisture‑wicking, quick‑drying, four‑way stretch, shape retention and lightweight comfort for workouts.
• Brushed‑back fleece / cozy option — cotton/polyester blends or polyester/elastane blends with a soft brushed interior for warmth and casual wear. Heavier, softer hand‑feel; less quick‑dry than performance knits.
• Recycled polyester (rPET) — performance of polyester but with a lower environmental impact; increasingly common in activewear.

Trims & hardware

• Quarter‑zip with molded or metal zipper (often YKK or equivalent) for durability.
• Elastic waistband with drawstring (polyester or cotton blend drawcord); toggles or metal aglets may be used.
• Lined or mesh pockets in some styles; branded trims or heat‑sealed logos depending on design.

Fabric performance terms to look for

• Moisture‑wicking: moves sweat away from skin so it evaporates faster.
• Four‑way stretch: stretches both crosswise and lengthwise for unrestricted movement.
• Quick‑dry: low water absorption so garment dries faster after washing or sweating.
• Anti‑odor / antimicrobial finish: helps reduce smell between washes.
• UPF: sun protection rating (if specified).

Always refer to the garment care label for the exact fiber content and any special instructions related to trims or finishes.

Model & fit

Example model details (use as a baseline when describing product imagery):

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Measurements: Bust 33" / Waist 24" / Hips 35" (84 / 61 / 89 cm)
• Wearing size: Small
• Fit notes: Top fits true to size with a streamlined silhouette; quarter‑zip can be worn fully zipped, partially open, or layered. Pants sit at a mid rise with an adjustable drawstring and a tapered ankle — intended as a relaxed but tailored jogger fit on the model.

Size guidance: If you prefer room to layer, consider sizing up. If you prefer a compressive/close fit and the fabric has high elastane content, your usual size will often be appropriate.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Turn garments inside out and zip the quarter‑zip before washing to protect the zipper and face fabric.
• Detergent & softener: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners — they coat fibers and reduce moisture‑wicking and breathability.
• Bleach: Do not use chlorine bleach.
• Drying: Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Air drying preserves elastane and prevents shrinkage and loss of shape. Remove promptly from dryer to reduce wrinkles.
• Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side; avoid ironing over logos, zipper tape or elastic panels.
• Stain removal: Treat stains promptly; use a gentle pre‑treatment and launder as usual. For oil stains, a small amount of dish soap can help break the oil before washing.
• Pilling & pills: Remove pilling gently with a fabric shaver. To prevent pilling, avoid rough surfaces and velcro contact during wear and washing.
• Storage: Fold and store in a cool, dry place. For knit tops, folding prevents shoulder stretching that can happen on narrow hangers.
• DWR / water-repellent finishes: If the garment has a durable water‑repellent finish, follow label directions for re‑treatment (wash‑in or spray‑on DWR products) and avoid heat unless the care label allows tumble activation.

Following these steps will help the set retain color, fit and performance longer — especially for high‑stretch and high‑performance fabrics.

Style tips

• Wear it together: The coordinated set is quick and polished for errands, travel, or a low‑time workout.
• Layer smart: Zip the quarter‑zip up for a clean, sporty look; unzip slightly and add a tank beneath for a relaxed vibe or to show a contrast color.
• Mix & match: Pair the top with leggings or high‑waisted shorts for training, or wear the drawstring pants with an oversized tee or denim jacket for streetwear style.
• Footwear: Trainers, running shoes or chunky sneakers for an athletic look; slides or minimalist sneakers for lounging.
• Accessories: Cap, crossbody bag or belt bag, and a sport watch keep the look functional and on‑trend.
• Fit hacks: Half‑tuck the top or knot the hem for a more defined waist; roll up pant cuffs for a cropped, casual feel.
