Always pushing the envelope? Never willing to accept "can't" or "not possible"? Then you too are wired to ask "why not?" It's amazing how powerful those words can be. Next time, when someone asks 'why" turn it around and ask'why not?' because that's what you are designed to do.
This incredibly soft - and we mean really soft - cropped hoodie, with its low structure snuggliness, is the perfect companion for just about any activity, including all those "why not?" adventures ahead.
Product & Care
Specification
- 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton / 48% polyester fleece
- 32 singles
- 7 oz (237 g/m²)
Care
- Wash
- Cold, inside out.
- Dry
- Tumble dry low, or lay flat to protect the raw hem.
- Iron
- Low, inside out, never over the print.
- Bleach
- No chlorine bleach.
- Expect
- The unfinished bottom edge is a design feature. Drying it flat keeps it looking deliberate rather than stretched.
- Embroidery
- Fleece takes stitching well.
Good to know
- A new print can smell faintly of vinegar, or carry a pale mark from the pre-treatment. Both wash out.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight before that first wash — the pre-treatment can sun-stain, and that doesn’t come out.
- No fabric softener. It dulls the print.
- On embroidery, iron around the stitching rather than over it. We’ve washed ours repeatedly and they’ve held up.

These are the garment’s own measurements, not body sizes — and one maker’s medium isn’t another’s, so it’s worth a look before you choose. Soft fabrics never cut quite identically, so allow a little either way.
Width is measured flat, underarm to underarm — double it for the full way round.
How this one fits
Crop Hoodie
Brushed fleece inside, and quite unstructured through the body. True to size S–2XL. Width isn't the question here — length is, so check where it hits.
Cut
US fit, dropped shoulder, deliberately unstructured — forgiving through the body. Length is the variable here, not width.
Sensory notes
- Tear-away neck label — comes out cleanly, nothing left behind.
- Side-seamed, with a dropped shoulder.
- Raw hem — no bulky seam at the bottom edge.
- Ribbed cuffs.
- Brushed fleece inside.
- On an embroidered design, the reverse of the stitching has some texture inside.
Made responsibly
- Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton.
- Bella+Canvas use bluesign®-approved dyes, chemicals and softeners, and treat their water in reclamation sites.
- Cut in WRAP-certified facilities.
- Cutting offcuts are recycled rather than binned.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping
Made for you after you order — 1–5 working days to make, then 3–5 to arrive. Free over $70 / £60; below that, a standard flat rate shown at checkout.
If it arrives faulty
Damaged, misprinted or just wrong — that’s on us. Send your order number and a photo within 30 days of delivery and we’ll replace it or refund you in full. Not sure it counts? Tell us anyway.
If you change your mind
We can’t take it back — each piece is made for you, so there’s no shelf for it to return to. Tell us within 30 days and we’ll still put it right: a discount next time, or a donation in your name to the charity we support.
Do check the size guide above before you order — it has the real measurements, flat and unstretched. Our Gear explains how each piece is cut and how it wears, which is the other half of the question.
