Does it work for the gym?

It is a regular pullover fleece with a pouch pocket and rib-knit cuffs, easy to throw on after a session. Most people keep their usual size.

The art prints in dark ink on Sand and in cream ink on Navy, so the stripes and the lettering stay sharp on both.

Is the print a real vintage find?

No. It is new art drawn to look like an 80s gym illustration, printed when you order it.

Is there a matching tee?

Yes, the same Sore Since 1987 art is also available as a graphic tee.

How do I wash this hoodie?

Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
