Spider VVS Tracksuit Red

Red Dye and Why Washing Matters

Red is a color that can bleed, so treat the first washes carefully. Machine wash cold, keep the pieces inside out, and wash them apart from anything pale. Dry them in the open air, since heat can fade red unevenly and shrinks cotton fleece. The graphic print should never meet an iron.

After a few cycles the dye settles, but cold water remains the habit to keep. It protects the shade and the brushed inside together.

Light Garments to Keep Away

White tees, gray sweats and cream socks all risk a pink tint from a fresh red set. Give it its own load for the first handful of washes and the problem goes away.

Spider VVS Tracksuit Red Cloth: 100% Cotton Fleece at 380 GSM

The fabric is 100% cotton fleece, brushed on the interior side, at 380 GSM. It is substantial, with a stable surface that carries the VVS graphic without wrinkling it, and a soft inner face that warms up quickly after you put it on. Red in a heavy cloth looks deeper than red in a thin one, which is part of the appeal.

An Oversized Top Over a Relaxed Leg

The top is cut oversized, with a wide chest, a dropped shoulder and a body that covers the waist. The bottom has a relaxed leg, falling straight to the shoe. If you are unsure about the amount of room, the Young Thug tracksuit in black uses the same pattern and is another way to picture how it hangs.

Wearing a Bold Color Calmly

Let the red lead and keep everything else dark. Black shoes, black socks and a plain cap create a clean frame, so the set looks confident rather than loud.

Seasons and Layering

This set belongs to autumn and winter. Its weight is enough on a brisk morning, and under a long coat it adds warmth without much bulk. Read the Spider Canada product care notes if you plan to rotate it with other colors.

Building a Small Collection

Those building a collection might add the Young Thug 555555 tracksuit in blue, which is a cooler complement.

Another loud warm tone is the websuit tracksuit in yellow.

The web tracksuit in sky blue is the calm counterpoint for a day when red feels like too much.
