Layering & Care Guide for Denim Tears Cotton Wreath Zip Hoodie Grey

Fit Notes & Smart Sizing

• Expect a relaxed profile with room in the sleeves and body.
• For a trim street fit, size true; for a looser set-fit, consider one size up.
• Test zip comfort: the hood should sit flat when fully zipped without tugging the collar.

Pro tip: measure a hoodie you already love and compare chest and body length to minimize returns.

Layering That Works All Week

• Underlayer: mid-weight tee or thermal; keep collars minimal to showcase the wreath.
• Midlayer: light quilted vest or coach jacket; the zipper keeps ventilation flexible.
• Set Look: pair with Cotton Wreath baggy sweats for clean top-to-bottom lines.
• Footwear: classic cupsole sneakers or retro runners to echo the hoodie’s easy structure.

Fabric Care: Keep the Handfeel, Guard the Print

1. Turn garment inside out before washing to protect the artwork.
2. Cold water, gentle cycle, low-spin. Avoid fabric softeners that can dull surface texture.
3. Use a mild liquid detergent; skip bleach and optical brighteners.
4. Air-dry flat or tumble on low heat for a short cycle; remove promptly to reduce creases.
5. If needed, steam lightly from the reverse side; avoid direct heat on the wreath graphic.

Wear & Tear: Distressing vs. Damage

Artisanal finishes may include subtle distressing. Distressing is intentional and consistent; damage looks random or spreads quickly. If you suspect damage from transit or manufacturing, document with photos and contact support for an easy resolution.

Color Management for Grey

• Wash with similar tones to avoid color pickup from darker denim or saturated brights.
• Line-dry away from direct sun to reduce future fade bands.
• Store on a wide hanger to keep shoulder shape; avoid tight clips that mark the fleece.

Capsule Pairings

Build a three-piece mini-capsule: the zip hoodie, a crisp white tee, and relaxed sweatpants or straight jeans. Add one accent—cap, tote, or watch—to keep the wreath graphic center stage.

Quick Quality Checklist

• Smooth zipper track and aligned placket.
• Even rib at cuffs and hem with good snap-back.
• Clean print edges on the wreath; no flaking or thick pooling.
• Uniform fleece face; no twists along side seams.
