Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This sweatshirt is cut with a classic, easy-wearing silhouette that offers a clean profile without being overly baggy
• We recommend taking your usual size for a true regular fit. The ribbed side panels allow the garment to move with you, accommodating different body shapes comfortably
• Be aware that the Uprisal collection is intentionally denser and heavier than standard high-street sweatshirts, providing a "premium weight" feel

Washing & Care Instructions

• To keep the Gravel Heather fabric looking fresh and to maintain the loft of the fleece, wash on a warm, gentle cycle
• The recycled blend handles a low-heat dryer well, though air-drying is always better for long-term fabric health and energy conservation
• Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the natural grey tones of the Gravel Heather finish and the integrity of the embroidered logo
• If the sweatshirt develops creases, use a cool iron setting. The recycled polyester content helps the fabric resist wrinkling naturally

Patagonia '95 Logo Uprisal Crew - Our FAQs

1. What does "100% Recycled" actually mean for this sweatshirt?
   It means every fibre in the body of the garment comes from a recycled source. The polyester comes from used PET bottles, and the cotton comes from garment factory scraps that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill.

2. Is the logo printed or embroidered?
   On this Uprisal model, the '95 Oval Logo is embroidered rather than screen-printed. This adds a textured, premium finish that is exceptionally durable and won't fade or crack over time.

3. How does this compare to a standard cotton sweatshirt?
   It is generally heavier and more wind-resistant than a 100% cotton tee or light sweater. The recycled polyester content also means it wicks moisture better and dries faster than pure cotton.

4. Will the "Gravel Heather" colour show dirt easily?
   The heathered grey finish is actually excellent at concealing light dust and lint, making it a very practical choice for outdoor use and active daily wear.
