Comfort Colors 1566 Sweatshirt Fit Guide

The Comfort Colors 1566 is the garment-dyed crewneck. It has the same washed, vintage color as the 1717 tee on a midweight cotton-face fleece, with a relaxed cut that layers easily over a tee.

  • Fit: Relaxed unisex crewneck
  • Fabric: 80/20 ring-spun cotton and polyester fleece, 9.5 oz
  • Feel: Soft cotton face, warm brushed fleece inside
  • Sizes: S to 3XL

Fabric and Feel

  • Midweight 9.5 oz fleece with a 100% ring-spun cotton face, so prints sit on cotton and the inside stays warm
  • Garment-dyed after sewing for the same soft, faded color as the Comfort Colors tee
  • 1x1 ribbed collar, cuffs, and waistband that hold their shape
  • Rolled-forward shoulder and side seams for a cleaner drape than a tube-knit sweatshirt
Good to know: Warm enough for a cold morning, light enough to wear indoors all day. It is the sweatshirt to pick when you want the Comfort Colors look with sleeves.

Fit and Sizing

The 1566 is a relaxed unisex fit. Most people order their usual size. Size up if you like a slouchy, oversized sweatshirt or plan to layer a hoodie under it.

Sizing tip: Lay a sweatshirt you already own flat and compare its width and length to the chart. Sleeve length is measured from the center of the back neck to the end of the cuff.

Care Instructions

  • Wash cold, inside out, with like colors

Care tip: Low heat is the whole secret. Fleece that is dried hot loses its softness first and its shape second.

FAQ

Does the Comfort Colors 1566 run big?

It is relaxed but not oversized. Your usual size gives the standard fit; go up one for a slouchy look.

Is it a hoodie?

No, it is a crewneck with no hood and no pocket. Our hoodies are on the Gildan 18500 blank.

Is it warm?

It is a midweight 9.5 oz fleece. Warm for spring and fall and for heated rooms in winter, lighter than a heavyweight hoodie.

Will the color fade?

It already has, on purpose. Garment-dyed fleece starts soft and faded and stays that way with cold washing.
