Quick answer
Wash your French Terry Full Zip Hoodie inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or lay flat to preserve the fabric's softness and structured drape.
Why French Terry needs special care
French terry is a knit fabric with loops on one side and a smooth surface on the other. The heavyweight Australian cotton used in the TomboyX French Terry Full Zip Hoodie gives it a rich drape and ultra-soft hand feel, but the looped structure can pill or lose shape if treated roughly. Gentle washing and low heat drying help maintain that plush texture and prevent the fabric from becoming fuzzy or distorted.
What about the zipper and hardware?
The full zip design means metal hardware and a zipper that can snag the fabric if not handled carefully. Always zip the hoodie fully before washing to protect the teeth and prevent the zipper from catching on other items. Tonal stitching and raglan paneling are durable, but the zipper tape can fray if exposed to high heat or harsh agitation.
How to care for your French Terry Full Zip Hoodie
- Zip and turn inside out: Fully zip the hoodie, then turn it inside out. This protects the outer surface from abrasion and keeps the zipper from snagging other clothes or the fabric itself. Common mistake: washing unzipped can cause the zipper to catch and pull threads.
- Wash in cold water on gentle cycle: Use cold water and a mild detergent. Set your machine to a gentle or delicate cycle with low spin speed. Avoid bleach or fabric softener, which can coat the cotton fibers and reduce breathability. Hot water can shrink the cotton and fade the Future Dusk color.
- Dry on low heat or lay flat: Tumble dry on low heat until just dry, or lay the hoodie flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight. Remove promptly to avoid wrinkles. High heat can damage the elastic in the cuffs and hem. Overdrying on high heat can cause pilling and stiffen the fabric.
- Store folded or on a padded hanger: Fold the hoodie and place it on a shelf, or hang it on a wide padded hanger to maintain the shoulder shape. Avoid thin wire hangers that can stretch the neckline or leave marks on the fabric. Hanging a heavy hoodie on a narrow hanger can distort the shoulders over time.
Product details
- French Terry Full Zip Hoodie - Future Dusk: Knit from heavyweight Australian cotton for an ultra-soft hand feel and rich, structured drape. The cotton's weight and structure mean the hoodie holds its shape well, but aggressive washing or high heat can break down the fibers and cause shrinkage or loss of drape.
