The Astrogorilla Sweatshirt

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this shrink in the wash?

No. The 240gsm polyester-spandex blend is pre-shrunk and synthetic, so it won't shrink like cotton. Sublimation printing actually requires this stable fabric to maintain color vibrancy and print quality. Wash cold and tumble dry low to preserve the design and fabric integrity. This is a legit advantage over cotton sweatshirts that require careful handling.

Does the print cover the whole thing or just the front?

Full coverage. Sublimation printing applies the design to the fabric before assembly, so the pattern covers the front, back, sleeves, and cuffs seamlessly. There are no blank spots under the armpits or along seams. This 360-degree approach creates a cohesive, intentional look from every angle. It's a legit premium feature that standard printing can't match.

Is the inside soft or that scratchy athletic material?

The interior features premium brushed fleece that's soft and breathable, not the plastic-like athletic material found in budget sweatshirts. The 240gsm poly-spandex blend prioritizes comfort without compromising durability. The brushed surface prevents irritation and provides genuine coziness for all-day wear. This is a legit comfort upgrade over standard athletic sweatshirts.

How warm is this compared to a cotton sweatshirt?

The brushed fleece interior and poly-spandex construction provide substantial warmth comparable to cotton sweatshirts. The synthetic blend offers better wind resistance and moisture management than cotton. While it may feel lighter than heavy 12oz cotton, the heat retention is genuine and reliable. This weight is a valid choice for cool weather and layering applications.
