The Fruit of the Loom Eversoft Fleece Hoodie is constructed with a 60% Cotton and 40% Polyester ring-spun blend. This material is treated with a specific softener bath to enhance the initial feel against the skin. Tests show that this blend provides effective moisture wicking, which helps manage humidity better than 100% cotton garments. However, the brushed fleece interior can become a trap for lint and secondary fibers if used with certain fabric softeners over time.
Specifications indicate the use of a standard-gauge nylon coil zipper. This non-locking mechanism is prone to distortion if subjected to the high temperatures of a commercial dryer. The cuffs and waistband utilize a ribbed spandex blend designed to help the garment stay in place, though the elastic memory may diminish after approximately 20 mechanical stretches. The overall fit aligns with standard metrics, providing a reliable choice for everyday household use.
If you require a hoodie with a focus on recycled materials and a similar fleece feel, the Hanes EcoSmart Fleece is a comparable alternative. To keep your seasonal fleece items protected from dust, consider browsing our garment bags for closet storage.
