Product Insights
Le 31's Brushed-Underside Hoodie (59 CAD, in stock) combines 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester for eco-benefits — eliminating synthetic pesticides and cutting energy use by 59% — while delivering durability through reinforced stress points and recycled polyester that prevents sagging cuffs and baggy hems. The midweight fleece is warmer than French terry but lighter than 400 GSM hoodies, dries faster and feels drier than 100% cotton, and layers well under a jacket. Tradeoffs: order one size up for normal shrinkage; moderate pilling (Grade 3.0) is expected over time; it works as a moisture-wicking mid-layer for light activity but not high-intensity exercise. Dark colors resist fading, and the interior softens with each cold-water wash.

Deep Research
Why organic cotton and recycled polyester work together
- The thermoplastic nature of polyester gives the knit a subtle memory that helps it snap back to its original shape after stretching, preventing the sagging cuffs and baggy hems that develop over time in pure-cotton hoodies.
- Polyester’s molecular structure binds dyes more tightly than cotton, meaning the recycled polyester content helps the hoodie retain deep color saturation through numerous washes, keeping the Black and other dark colorways looking fresh longer than an all-cotton sweatshirt.
- Organic cotton fibers are typically longer and less degraded by chemical defoliants and processing, giving the brushed fleece underside a smoother, softer surface that feels gentle against bare skin and continues to soften with repeated cold-water washes.
- While the organic cotton face provides breathable comfort, the hydrophobic polyester fibers accelerate moisture transfer and drying, so the hoodie feels drier during light activity or in damp weather compared to a 100% cotton midweight.
- The blend avoids two major textile footprint drivers: organic cotton eliminates synthetic pesticide and fertilizer use, while recycled polyester requires an estimated 59% less energy than virgin polyester production and diverts plastic bottles from landfill.
- The 40% recycled polyester — commonly sourced from post-consumer plastic bottles — reinforces the cotton knit, improving tear strength and abrasion resistance at high-stress points like the elbows and pocket edges, so the hoodie resists blowouts better than pure-cotton alternatives.

Q&A
3 answered- Does this hoodie shrink significantly after washing, and should I size up?
- The blend of 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester helps reduce shrinkage compared to all-cotton fleece, but some shrinkage is normal, especially in the first wash. We recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low. If you prefer a looser fit after washing, consider sizing up.
- How does the brushed fleece interior hold up to pilling after multiple washes?
- Brushed fleece fabrics in general have a moderate pilling resistance — one comparative test rated brushed fleece at Grade 3.0 on the ISO 12945-2 scale [2]. Our hoodie uses a soft brushed underside, and while the recycled polyester content may improve durability, some pilling over time is normal. Washing inside out and avoiding fabric softener can help minimize it.
- Is this hoodie lightweight enough for layering, or is it a heavier midweight?
- This hoodie is a midweight option. The soft fleece underside and cotton-polyester blend provide warmth without being overly bulky, making it suitable for cool weather on its own or as a layering piece under a jacket. It is not as heavy as a 400+ GSM specialty hoodie, but heavier than a lightweight French terry.
