FAQs
Q: Is this shirt heavy like a winter sweater or light like a t-shirt?
A: It is a lightweight, fine-gauge knit sweater that provides more body and structure than a basic t-shirt while remaining airy, cool, and comfortable for warm weather.
Q: Are the stripes printed on or knitted in?
A: The varsity stripes on the collar and sleeve cuffs are yarn-dyed and knitted directly into the ribbed trims for durable color and long-lasting elasticity.
Q: Does the waffle knit itch against bare skin?
A: Not at all; it is crafted from a blend engineered to feel ultra-soft and smooth against the skin.
Q: What is the best way to launder this waffle-knit sweater?
A: Machine wash cold inside out with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry to preserve the waffle stitch geometry, neck elasticity, and embroidered horseman logo.
