Fabric Composition & Construction
The truth by republic sweatshirt combines 80% cotton with 20% polyester for an ideal balance of natural softness and practical durability. This blend resists pilling and maintains its shape through repeated wear and washing, unlike pure cotton alternatives that stretch out over time.
We use a mid-weight 8.5 oz fabric that provides warmth without heaviness. The interior features brushed fleece that traps body heat while wicking moisture away from skin, keeping you comfortable in fluctuating temperatures. Double-needle stitching reinforces all stress points including shoulders, underarms, and side seams.
Sizing & Fit Guide
This sweatshirt follows a relaxed fit profile with dropped shoulder seams that sit 1-2 inches below your natural shoulder point. We recommend ordering your usual size for a comfortable, true-to-size fit with room for layering underneath.
The body length measures approximately 26 inches from high point shoulder on a size medium, hitting at mid-hip on most body types. Sleeve length runs 23 inches from center back neck, designed to end at the wrist bone when arms are relaxed at your sides.
Care Instructions & Longevity
Machine wash your truth by republic sweatshirt in cold water with like colors to preserve fabric integrity and color vibrancy. We recommend turning the garment inside out before washing to protect the exterior surface from friction and fading.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to prevent shrinkage and extend the life of the elastic in ribbed areas. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can break down the cotton fibers and reduce the softness of the brushed interior over time.
