Gianneli Colours Green and Pink Fleece Hoodie

A soft green and pink wash across brushed fleece. This is the calmest hoodie in the range, and on a garment this size that matters more than it does on a t-shirt: a hoodie is the largest printed surface most people wear, so a loud design on one is loud in a way the same design on a tee never is.

Scale Changes What A Print Can Get Away With

• A big garment magnifies a bold print. The area of a hoodie is roughly twice that of a tee, so a design that reads as lively on a shirt reads as shouting on this.
• A wash carries the size comfortably. Blended tones fill the surface without demanding attention, which is why this one can be worn several days running.
• Soft colour still cannot fade. Muted does not mean fragile. The dye is inside the fibre, so pale tones hold exactly as well as saturated ones.

What Relaxed Actually Measures

The cut is a relaxed unisex fit, which means the garment hangs away from the body rather than following it. The practical effect is in the table below: read your chest measurement and take that row, because the letter size you wear in a fitted shirt is frequently not the row you land on here. 70% polyester, 27% cotton and 3% elastane at 8.85 oz per square yard, weight varying by up to 5%.

Care Is The Same As Any Brushed Fleece

Wash inside out and leave it out of the dryer. That protects the raised interior fibres from pilling where a bag strap or an underarm rubs. The print asks for nothing, because there is no surface layer on it to damage.

The One To Wear With Anything

Muted green and pink behave close to neutrals, so this is the hoodie in the range that does not dictate the rest of the outfit. Denim in any wash, stone, black, olive and white all sit under it. It is also the one that layers under a coat without the coat cutting a bold design in half.

Softness, Sizing And Layering

Is the print visible from a distance? As colour rather than as a design. Close up the wash resolves into brushwork; from across a street it reads as a soft two-tone garment.

Will pale tones look washed out on such a heavy fabric? No. At 300 gsm the cloth is dense enough that even soft colours stay solid rather than looking thin, which is a problem on lightweight knits.

Can it go under a coat? Yes, and it is the best one here for that. The design does not depend on being seen whole, so a coat covering the sleeves costs it nothing.

Size Guide

These are body measurements, not garment measurements. Go by your chest. Run a tape around the fullest part with your arms down and keep it level. Waist and hips are listed for anyone whose hips run several inches fuller than their chest, since a hoodie ends at the hip and that is where it can catch.
