Elevated Fleece Hoodie, 7.4 oz Cotton-Poly

Frequently Asked Questions

What is three-end fleece construction?

Three-end fleece is made by looping three separate yarns together to create a fabric with a smooth exterior, a dense middle structure, and a soft brushed interior. The triple-yarn construction creates a more even, higher-quality surface than standard two-end fleece, which is why it is typically used in premium sweatshirts. The 60/40 cotton-polyester blend in this fleece gives it both cotton softness and polyester dimensional stability.

How does the Elevated Fleece fit?

The Elevated Fleece uses a relaxed fit: room across the chest and shoulders, a straight body with minimal taper. The fabric weight (7.4 oz) provides structure so the garment holds its shape rather than collapsing. Size true for the intended relaxed silhouette; size down if you prefer a closer fit while keeping the premium drape of the heavyweight construction.

Is 7.4 oz fleece warm enough for winter?

At 7.4 oz, the Elevated Fleece is a midweight-to-heavyweight garment that provides solid warmth as a standalone layer in mild cold (above about 5 degrees Celsius). In colder conditions, it works well as a mid-layer under a jacket. The jersey-lined hood adds warmth at the head without the bulk of a thick hood lining.

How do I care for a cotton-polyester fleece sweatshirt?

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. The 40% polyester content provides dimensional stability — the fleece is less prone to shrinkage than 100% cotton. Avoid high heat, which can cause the cotton fibres to contract and reduce the fleece's soft interior texture. Washing inside out protects the exterior surface.
