Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Irish Army Unisex Premium Crew Neck Sweatshirt made from?
▾
The sweatshirt combines cotton with recycled polyester. Depending on the colour, the blend is either 80% cotton/20% recycled polyester (heather gray) or 60% cotton/40% recycled polyester (oatmeal). This mix gives a soft hand-feel, added durability and a modest reduction in virgin plastic use.
Does the sweatshirt shrink after washing?
▾
The garment is designed to shrink less than 5% after a normal wash cycle. Because the fabric includes a cotton face and a polyester backing, it retains its dimensions well. For the best fit, we recommend washing in cold water and air-drying.
How should I care for this fleece to maintain its softness?
▾
To keep the fleece soft, wash the sweatshirt inside-out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Use cold or lukewarm water, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry. This routine preserves the cotton surface and the recycled-polyester fibers.
Is the recycled polyester used in this product environmentally friendly?
▾
Yes, the recycled polyester in this sweatshirt is sourced from post-consumer plastic waste, which reduces the demand for new petroleum-based fibers. While it still requires energy to process, its use cuts overall carbon emissions compared with 100% virgin polyester.
Can I wear this sweatshirt for outdoor activities in cooler weather?
▾
Can you wear this sweatshirt for outdoor activities in cooler weather? Absolutely. The 280 g/m² fleece provides ample insulation, and the structured cut allows easy layering under a jacket. Its breathable cotton-polyester blend keeps you comfortable without overheating during moderate hikes or casual outings.
