What is the Ace Hardwire sweatshirt made of?

It is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester heavy blend. The cotton is spun for a strong, smooth surface that prints well, and the polyester adds strength and resistance to shrinking.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash warm at up to 40C or 105F, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on medium heat. Do not iron and do not dry-clean.

Does it have side seams?

No. It is knit in one piece with a tubular knit, so there are no side seams. That reduces fabric waste and avoids seam rubbing.

Will the collar stretch out?

The collar is ribbed knit with a seam, which makes it elastic and helps it keep its shape through repeated washing.

Is it good for printing or embroidery?

The smooth cotton-polyester blend is designed for printing, and the flat tubular body gives a clean surface for graphics.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a mid-weight sweatshirt, fine as a layer under a jacket. It is not a heavy fleece, so it is not a standalone winter piece.

Our take on the Ace Hardwire - Ace - Sweatshirts

The Ace Hardwire is a unisex crewneck sweatshirt in a heavy cotton-polyester blend, built for everyday wear and printed graphics. It uses a tubular knit with no side seams, so there is no twisting or chafing under the arms, and a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape through washing. The 50/50 blend is strong and resists shrinking, which makes it a durable casual layer rather than a soft luxury fleece. It suits people who want a sturdy, print-friendly sweatshirt; against softer all-cotton or brushed-fleece rivals it feels less plush, and the care rules are stricter than most sweatshirts.
