Spider 999 Club Young Thug Tracksuit Black

Why 380 GSM Cotton Fleece Suits a Set

The Black Numerals tracksuit is cut from a 380 GSM cotton fleece, brushed on the inner face. That weight is easy to feel before you put it on: the cloth is thick between finger and thumb, it keeps its shape on the hanger, and it hangs from the shoulder instead of clinging. For a set that has to work as a top and a bottom, the body matters, because a thin fleece would crease at the knee and slump at the hood within a few wears.

How the Brushed Interior Feels Against the Skin

The brushed side is soft, slightly raised and warm straight away, so a bare T-shirt underneath is enough on a cool morning. A single hoodie such as the Spider PNK Hoodie Black covers your torso; this set carries the same heavy cotton fleece all the way down the leg, which is where most people feel the cold on a platform.

Oversized Top, Relaxed Leg: Choosing Your Size

The hooded top is cut oversized, so the shoulders drop and the body falls loose with plenty of room through the chest. The bottom is relaxed through the leg rather than tapered. Because the top is the roomy half, it forgives a size mistake; the bottom is the half to check. Measure the waist and inseam of a pair of trousers you already like and lay them against the Spider Canada size guide before you decide.

When to Size Down in This Roomy Set

Take your usual size if you want the top to look deliberately oversized. If you prefer it closer to the body, or you sit between two sizes and the leg is your main worry, go one size down: a relaxed leg in heavy fleece otherwise stacks up at the ankle.

Black cotton shows lint and fades if it is washed hot, so turn both pieces inside out and run them on a cold machine cycle, away from towels. Inside out also stops the printed graphic rubbing against the drum. Do not iron the print; if the hood needs smoothing, press it from the reverse side only. The Spider Canada product care page covers the other garments in the range.

Drying a Heavy Fleece Set Without Shrinking It

Air dry it, hanging the top by the shoulders and folding the bottom over a rail. A dryer pulls 380 GSM fleece in on itself, and a printed graphic is the first thing to crack under tumbling heat. Heavy fleece takes much longer than a T-shirt to dry, so plan for a full day.

Wearing the Black Tracksuit in Cold Months

This is autumn and winter weight on this tracksuit. On its own it carries you through cold mornings; when the temperature drops further, wear it as the warm base under a shell and a scarf. Worn apart, the top works over jeans and the bottom works with a clean tee. A white tee such as the Spider Juan V2 T-Shirt White underneath the black top keeps the neckline bright.

For contrast with the black, a brown tee such as the Spider OG Web T-Shirt Brown works under the hooded top.

When you want only the upper half, the Spider OG Web V2 Phantom Hoodie Black is a single-piece alternative in black.

If you would like a color against the black bottom, the Spider TC5 Hoodie Blue pairs with it well.
