Premium Materials & Construction
We’ve engineered the truth by republic black sweater using a carefully balanced cotton-elastane blend that delivers the best of both worlds—the natural breathability of cotton with just enough stretch to maintain shape throughout the day. The fabric weight strikes the perfect middle ground, substantial enough to smooth your silhouette without adding bulk.
Every seam is finished with reinforced stitching to prevent unraveling, and the ribbed trim at the neckline, cuffs, and hem is double-knit for durability. We use colorfast dye processes that keep the rich black hue looking fresh wash after wash.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Truth by Republic black sweater features a contemporary fit that’s neither oversized nor overly fitted—it skims your body with just enough room for comfortable layering. We’ve designed the armholes to allow freedom of movement without gaping, and the shoulder seams sit at your natural shoulder line for a tailored appearance.
For reference, our size Medium fits bust measurements of 36-38 inches, with a 24-inch body length from shoulder to hem. The slightly longer back hem provides coverage when you bend or reach. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or plan to layer over thicker tops, we recommend sizing up one size.
Care Instructions & Longevity
Machine wash your truth by republic black sweater in cold water on the gentle cycle with like colors. We recommend turning the garment inside out before washing to protect the exterior fibers and maintain the deep black color. Use a mild detergent without bleach or harsh optical brighteners.
Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry—both methods work beautifully with this blend. If you choose to tumble dry, remove the sweater while it’s still slightly damp to prevent over-drying. Light steaming refreshes the fabric between washes and helps maintain the smooth knit texture.
