FAQ | Comfort Colors 1566 Garment-Dyed Keepsake Sweatshirt

FAQ

How does this sweatshirt fit?
This is the Comfort Colors 1566 — a relaxed, true-to-size crewneck with a soft, lived-in feel. It’s not slim and it’s not baggy. If you want that trendy oversized streetwear drape, size up one or even two.

Is it heavy?
It’s a substantial mid-to-heavyweight garment-dyed fleece — warm and cozy without feeling stiff or bulky. The kind of sweatshirt that becomes your go-to the second it comes out of the bag.

Why does the color look so soft and worn-in?
That’s the garment-dyeing. Each piece is dyed after it’s sewn, soaking color all the way through for that rich, broken-in look you usually only get after years of wear. Slight variation piece to piece is the signature of real garment dyeing — every one is a little one-of-a-kind.

Will it pill or shrink?
The ring-spun cotton face resists pilling, and pre-washing during dyeing keeps shrinkage minimal. Pro Tip: wash cold inside out and air dry or tumble low (see our Easy Care Guide) and it holds its shape, color, and softness for years.

Why is this a keepsake piece?
The 25 for 250 capsule marks a once-in-a-lifetime moment — America’s 250th. We chose a premium garment-dyed blank so the sweatshirt you buy for the Semiquincentennial is still in rotation decades from now. Built to outlast the moment it celebrates.
