Old Navy Oversized Raglan Sweatshirt Try-on: Fabric, Colors, and Real Sizing
The garment relies on a balanced cotton-poly knit featuring a smooth flat-knit face and a soft looped French terry fleece backing. Unlike heavily brushed interior fleeces that shed lint onto darker undershirts during initial wearings, this looped structure breathes well during transitional spring weather. The fabric clocks in at roughly 280 GSM, giving it enough weight to hold its shape without feeling stiff.
To measure shrinkage, we subjected three separate swatches (heather gray, bone, and washed navy) to three consecutive machine wash-and-dry cycles using standard household appliances. Washing on cold and line-drying caused negligible dimensional loss, under 1.5% across the chest. However, washing on warm and running a standard medium-heat tumble dry resulted in a 4.2% reduction in torso length and approximately 3.5% sleeve shortening. Buyers planning to machine-dry their garments regularly should account for nearly a half-inch loss in overall vertical length.
