Spider Arach NY Phobia Tracksuit Navy

Sizing an Oversized Top and a Relaxed Leg

Start with the bottom, because that half decides whether the set works. The leg is relaxed rather than tapered, so you want a waist that sits comfortably and a hem that reaches the ankle without bunching. The hooded top is cut oversized, with a dropped shoulder and a loose body, and it forgives a size either way. Compare a pair of trousers you already own with the Spider Canada size guide to settle on the waist.

Between Sizes in a Loose Tracksuit

Choose the larger size if you want the top to hang long and slouchy. Choose the smaller size if the leg is your priority, since a smaller waist keeps the bottom from pooling at the shoe.

Cotton Fleece at 380 GSM, Brushed Inside

The Navy Text tracksuit is cut from a 380 GSM cotton fleece, brushed on the inner face. The weight is obvious in the hand: the cloth is thick, a little stiff when new and softer after a few washes, and it holds its shape at the cuff and hood instead of stretching out. The brushed side warms up quickly, which is why a single T-shirt underneath is enough in an unheated hallway. The Spider TC5 Hoodie Blue uses the same fleece family if you would like the top on its own in a lighter blue.

How the Brushed Navy Fleece Settles In

New fleece feels dense and slightly firm. After a few washes the brushed inside softens and the navy loses its stiff edge, while the hood and cuffs keep their shape.

Washing Navy Fleece Without Fading the Print

Dark blue cotton fades towards gray when it is washed warm, so keep the cycle cold and turn both pieces inside out to protect the printed graphic. Wash navy apart from white and light loads, as fresh dye can transfer in the first few washes. The graphic should never be ironed, and the Spider Canada product care page explains how that applies to the rest of the range.

Air Drying a Dense Fleece Set

Hang the top on a wide hanger and fold the bottom over a rail, away from radiators. Dryer heat shrinks heavy fleece and cracks printed graphics, so air drying is the only reliable route. Allow a full day.

Layering the Spider Navy Tracksuit in Winter

Autumn and winter are the seasons for this set. Under a coat, the fleece works as the insulating layer; on a mild day, the top over a plain tee does the job on its own. A white tee such as the Spider Juan V2 T-Shirt White keeps the neckline light against the dark blue.

Navy takes black well, so pairing the bottom with a top like the Spider PNK Hoodie Black gives you a mixed set with a clear contrast.

The Spider OG Web V2 Phantom Hoodie Black is the alternative if you want a pullover with more black in it.

A brown tee such as the Spider OG Web T-Shirt Brown under the navy top gives a warmer, earthier combination.
