Does the cotton face work for heat transfer vinyl?

Yes. The 100% ring-spun cotton face is made for cotton-friendly decorating, and crafters commonly use HTV, DTF and embroidery on it.

How does the fit compare with a regular sweatshirt?

It is a classic tubular fit, so it runs roomy and straight through the body with no side seams. Many buyers size down for a closer fit.

Is it warm enough for cold weather?

It is a midweight 8.4 oz fleece, warm for layering in cool weather but not a substitute for a heavy jacket in freezing conditions.

What is the zipper like?

It is a dyed-to-match reverse coil locking zipper, so the pull stays where you leave it. The zipper stops above the waistband, leaving a gap at the bottom.

Can the label be removed?

Yes. It has a tear-away label that comes off cleanly, which helps for rebranding or uniform use.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low to limit shrinkage and pilling on the cotton-poly blend.
