Spider TC5 Hoodie Blue

Weight and Feel of the 380 GSM Fleece: Blue TC5 Hoodie

At 380 GSM this is a heavy fleece, the sort you notice in the hand before you ever put it on. It is 100% cotton fleece with a brushed interior, which means the inside face is soft and slightly napped against the skin while the outside stays smooth enough for the print to sit cleanly. That weight gives the hood and body real structure, so the hoodie holds its shape instead of slumping.

Spider TC5 Hoodie Blue Fit and Sizing

The cut is oversized and relaxed, with a dropped shoulder seam and a boxy body that falls straight rather than tapering at the waist. A shape like that forgives a size either way. Take your usual size for the full slouch, or go down once if you want it closer. The Spider Canada size guide lists the measurements if you would rather compare against a hoodie you already own.

Layering Underneath the Hoodie

If you plan to wear a thick layer beneath it, stay with your usual size. The boxy body has room through the torso but not unlimited room, and a heavy knit under heavy fleece will pull at the shoulders if you size down.

The graphic reads as TC5 555 numerals with stars, and against the blue ground it stays easy to read without needing a second color to prop it up. Because the print is the only decoration, it is also the part of the hoodie worth protecting through repeated washing.

Washing Blue Fleece Without Stressing the Print

Machine wash cold with the hoodie turned inside out, then let it air dry. Fleece this heavy holds a lot of water, so give it space on a rack or a wide hanger and keep it away from the tumble dryer, since heat is what flattens a brushed interior and cracks printed numerals. Do not iron the print. The full routine for every garment is set out in our product care notes.

Wearing It From Autumn Into Winter

Autumn and winter are the seasons this hoodie was made for. On its own the fleece is warm enough for cool days, and once the temperature drops it works as a mid-layer under a coat. A cotton tee such as the Spider OG Web T-Shirt Brown underneath adds a second tone against the blue.

Darker Hoodies in the Range

Not everyone wants blue. The Spider PNK Hoodie Black covers the darker end of the hoodie range and goes with the same tees you would wear under this one.

Anyone who prefers an open front to a pullover can look at the Spider OG Web V2 Rhinestone Zip Up Hoodie Black, a zip-up in black that changes how a layer sits over a tee.
