Item #: 22176 9 oz./yd² (US) 15 oz./L yd (CA), 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend with 100% cotton face, 30 singles Classic fit Jersey lined hood with sewn eyelets Split stitch double-needle sewing on all seams Twill neck tape 1x1 ribbing at cuffs and waistband Dyed-to-match drawcord Pouch pocket Woven label This product meets the following Sustainable Style subcategory: Socially Conscious Manufacturing: This product is made in a facility that is WRAP certified. Please note: The pigment-dyeing process gives each garment unique character. Please allow for color variation in production and washing. Care Instructions: Due to the nature of pigment dye, loose pigments may remain on the surface of the garments. We therefore strongly recommend washing these garments only with like-colored garments, as some of the pigment dyes may stain light or white colored garments in the wash cycle. Washing the garments in cold water will reduce the possibility of staining. *PFD Note: Our PRM4500 & PRM3500 Prepare For Dye sweatshirts are not 100% Cotton. They are a 3-End Knit with 100% cotton Face Yarn, 100% Polyester Middle Yarn, and 80% Cotton/20% Poly back yarn. We chose this blend to achieve some stretch, and an ultra-soft feel for our pigment dye that isn’t found in 100% Cotton. Please do your own testing prior to bulk production. Pigment Dyes, Tie Dyes and other unique dyes/washes work best on this garment. The sewing thread on this PFD Garment is a polyester core cotton sheath thread. We use this to achieve the strength of polyester thread with the dye capabilities of Cotton thread. Although this thread takes dye better than Polyester thread, Dark Reactive dyes and Overdyes are not recommended because the thread doesn’t take dye as well as 100% Cotton. Tie dyes, Pigment Dyes, Mineral Washes, dip dyes etc work best. The Poly Core/Cotton Sheathe thread is very strong so the decreased amount of fallout from broken threads when dyeing is the major benefit, this thread is very strong. The "PFD Prepared for Dye" Garment is the raw garment we use to garment dye. You can wear it as is, or dye it yourself. Keep in mind it will have a slightly larger fit because it has not been garment dyed yet. After a garment dye or wash the PFD garment will shrink to match the PRM4500 Pigment dye spec. Pigment dyed garments can be printed with plastisol ink. Always test pigment dyed garments prior to production. A poly blocker base should be used to avoid any dye migration. Pigment dyed garments do not discharge. *The main thing to be aware of when printing on Pigment Dyed Garments is the possibility of dye migration as well as unwanted ink (pin holes, finger prints, etc.) cannot be blown out and removed with spot remover guns. Spot remover guns will remove the pigment dyed color on the garment as well as often leave a ring on the garment.
