Dark grey bamboo sweatshirt with logo

The grey sweatshirt for long days at home

Grey is the colour of the working from home day: calm enough for screen meetings, relaxed enough for the sofa afterwards. This dark grey sweatshirt with the logo across the chest is designed for exactly those days when the same jumper has to work from the morning coffee to dinner without becoming heavy, clammy or baggy along the way. Dark grey also has the advantage that it does not show everyday marks as clearly as the light grey shades.

Four fibres, each with its own job

The fabric consists of 55 % bamboo viscose, 25 % polyester, 15 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose provides the softness against the skin, the cotton body and warmth, the polyester keeps the shape day after day, and the elastane gives stretch in the ribbed cuffs. You can see how bamboo actually becomes a textile on the page about how bamboo viscose is made.

Dry and temperature-balanced through the day

Bamboo viscose carries moisture away from the skin and is breathable, so the jumper feels fresh even when you have worn it for many hours. That makes the dark grey sweatshirt a good choice over a T-shirt in the transitional months, when the temperature swings between morning chill and afternoon sun. The properties of the fibre are collected on our page with facts about bamboo.

The size should be chosen with care

The style is unisex in sizes XS to XXL and is cut to men's measurements, so it runs large. Choose your usual size for a relaxed, straight cut. Many women go one size down to get a normal fit, while you can go one up if the sweatshirt is to be properly oversized. The sleeve length is designed for men's measurements, so if you choose by men's size, the cuff sits where it should.

Melange needs a gentle wash

Wash inside out at 30 degrees, skip the fabric softener, and avoid the tumble dryer. The grey colour tolerates a great deal, but a gentle wash keeps the surface smooth and the logo sharp for years. Fabric softener settles like a film on the fibres and takes away precisely the soft, dry feel that bamboo otherwise gives. Our recommendations for the whole wardrobe are in the guide to washing and care.

Tested down to the smallest thread

The sweatshirt is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, certificate number 976-15301. The certification tests the finished fabric, the thread and the print for harmful substances. We explain what the test includes on the page about OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.

The top that stands up to frequent washing

A sweatshirt for days at home gets washed more than a top that is only worn out of the house. That is why it matters that the polyester in the blend holds the shape and that the bamboo viscose does not go rough from repeated washing. The top also dries faster than a pure cotton sweatshirt, which in practice means it can be dry again by the next day without a tumble dryer.

One top, two wardrobes

Because the style is unisex, it often ends up as a shared jumper in the home, and then it is useful that it comes in six sizes. If you want to put together a complete set, there are matching sweatpants in the same grey.
