Product Insights
The Drôle Café Sweatshirt is an out-of-stock 100% cotton Portuguese jersey (300-500 GSM) sweatshirt from Drôle de Monsieur, priced at 350 CAD. Made in Portugal under EU law in small batches with 4-8 week lead times, the dense fabric softens with age and resists pilling when air-dried. However, the buyer must accept that the cotton relaxes 3-8% over its first year and shrinks 5-8% on warm wash, requiring cold-water washing and air-drying to prevent distortion, though ribbed trims hold shape.
