Sweatshirts – the all-rounder in skateboarding
Sweatshirts are easy to combine and keep you warm during the session - whether over a T-shirt, under your jacket or simply solo.
Materials
Sweatshirts for skating vary in the composition of the fabrics used. While some are made of pure cotton, others rely on a mix of synthetic materials and cotton. Elastane provides elasticity and flexibility while skating, while polyester ensures that your sweatshirt is breathable and dries quickly.
Want it really warm? Then we recommend sweatshirts with an inner lining made of soft fleece, which makes it comfy and keeps you extra warm.
Fits
Much like the material, you also have a lot to choose from when fitting sweatshirts. In addition to the classic "Regular Fit", in the skatedeluxe skate shop, we also feature "Slim Fit" and "Oversize Fit" pullovers. A slim fit sweatshirt fits and accentuates the body, while an oversize fit sweatshirt sits very loose and provides plenty of freedom of movement.
Whether you like it tight or loose while you push - we’ve got the right sweatshirt for you.
Cuts and features
The variety of different necklines ranges from the typical round neckline to sweatshirts with stand up collars. Sweaters with a stand-up collar usually have a half zipper on the front or are buttoned and are designed to keep you warm like a turtleneck.
Some models stand out with special colourways, fabrics, or cool features like a stand up collar. From prints, mesh inserts or buttons, you can choose your particular detail to best express your style.
In the product descriptions under each item in the shop, you can find all the information on the materials used and special features, such as hidden pockets.
Sweatshirt with Prints - express your style
Practically every skate brand has one print in common: their own logo. Here, you can often choose whether you prefer to display it loud across your entire chest or somewhere more discreet. Printed or embroidered on the sweatshirt, logos are the most eye-catching way to present a brand.
The subtler variations are usually small logo prints, patches or stitches on the chest, or even in more unusual places like the cuffs. If big logo prints, fancy colourways, and eye-catching details just aren’t your thing, skatedeluxe also offers simple monochrome sweatshirts with discreet logo details.
With the right care, you can enjoy your sweatshirt for longer
With these simple tricks, you can extend the lifespan of your new favourite sweatshirt:
- Wash your pullover at 30 degrees. It’s warm enough to get rid of most dirt and stains. At higher temperatures, you run the risk of shrinking it.
- Turn your sweatshirt inside out before washing. That’ll save the print. Hang it up to dry inside out as well, in a shady spot. Direct sunlight can cause the colours of the fabric and the print to fade.
- You should wash white sweatshirts separately from clothes with intense colours such as red, blue or black. Unless that is, you're going for an accidental tie-dye look...
