Black bamboo sweatshirt with logo

The black sweatshirt that works quietly

Most wardrobes have a jumper that gets taken out more often than anything else. This black sweatshirt is built to be that one. The colour goes with everything, the cut is simple with a round neck and ribbed cuffs at the wrists and hem, and the logo across the chest is the only detail. The rest of the work happens in the fabric, and that is why the jumper stands up to being worn several times a week instead of ending up at the back of the cupboard.

The blend behind the softness

The sweatshirt is made from 55 % bamboo viscose, 25 % polyester, 15 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose sits innermost against the skin and gives the soft, almost smooth surface that bamboo is known for. The polyester makes the top hold its shape, so it does not go baggy at the elbows, the cotton gives body, and the elastane makes sure the ribbed cuffs keep lying close. You can read more about the fibres on our page about benefits of bamboo viscose.

Comfortable in both warm and cold rooms

Bamboo viscose is breathable and helps the body maintain an even temperature. This is clearly felt in a sweatshirt, which is typically worn for many hours at a time: you do not become clammy when you go from the cold kitchen to the warm office. We explain why the fibre behaves this way on the page with facts about bamboo.

Unisex and generous in size

The style is unisex and comes in sizes XS to XXL. It is cut to men's measurements and therefore runs large. If you want the classic, straight cut, choose your usual size. Many women choose one size smaller than normal, and if the sweatshirt is to sit oversized, you can go one size up instead. If you are in doubt between two sizes, the smaller one is usually right on this style.

Black that stays black

Wash the sweatshirt inside out at 30 degrees without fabric softener, and let it drip dry rather than using a tumble dryer. Black clothes lose colour above all because they are washed too warm and dried too harshly, so those two habits matter more than anything else for how the top looks after a year. The whole method is in our guide to washing and care.

Certified free from harmful chemicals

The fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 with certificate number 976-15301. That means the finished textile has been tested for harmful substances, which is worth knowing in a top you wear directly against the skin all day. We go through what the certification covers on the page about OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.

Complete the set

The sweatshirt matches our sweatpants in the same colour and quality, so you can put together a whole set for days at home and for leisure. You will find the trousers and the rest of the series in the collection with all our sweat clothing. The combination of the black jumper and a pair of jeans works just as well outside the home, so it never has to become a jumper you only wear on the sofa.
