The Amazon Essentials Big & Tall Hoodie is made from a 52% Cotton and 48% Polyester fleece. The inclusion of polyester provides high tensile strength to the chassis, which is helpful for the larger dimensions of a Big & Tall garment. The interior is brushed for initial softness, providing moderate thermal retention for household tasks or casual outings. The "Tall" specifications offer generous sleeve length for those who require more coverage.
Users should be aware that the cotton component in this blend is not mercerized, which can lead to vertical shrinkage of up to 3 inches if dried on high heat. The #5 nylon coil zipper is a standard fastener and lacks a locking pin, which may cause it to slide down during active use. Furthermore, the black dye is susceptible to pigment release in wash temperatures exceeding 30°C. To maintain the fit, air-drying or low-heat cycles are recommended to prevent fiber constriction.
If you need a more industrially focused hoodie that is pre-shrunk to maintain its shape, the Hanes Ultimate Heavyweight is a durable alternative. You can find specialized storage for your larger footwear and gear in our boot storage rack category.
