What this sweatshirt is like

It is a Gildan 18000 with a crew neck: no hood, no drawstring, no pocket. It is the classic sweatshirt, the one you put on over a T-shirt and under a coat, and the only one of the three warm layers that gets through an office without looking like something you wear at home. The collar, the cuffs and the waistband are 1×1 rib with elastane, so they go back to shape when you take it off.

Read more about this sweatshirt

With no kangaroo pocket and no drawstring, the chest is clean from top to bottom. Of all the garments in the catalogue, this is the one where the drawing shows whole, with nothing in front to break it up: if the design has fine detail —a spiral, a seal, a loom—, this is where you can see it without having to blow it up.

Half cotton, half polyester: the blend is what keeps it from losing its shape after a whole winter of washes. Inside out, at 30 °C and dried on low, because strong heat is what shrinks the ribbing. It goes from S to 5XL. In white the fabric leans towards bone rather than pure white; that is the blend, not a printing fault.

The drawing on «Lámina de Hawkins, 1854»

The framed plate of a marine reptile: long neck, four paddle flippers, barrel body and the plate caption hinted at underneath, as in the popular science plates of the 19th century.

Where this drawing comes from

It is a plate inside a plate: what gets printed is the popular science plate with its caption hinted at underneath, not the animal cut out. It is about showing how a plesiosaur was shown in 1854, not about showing a plesiosaur.

Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins sculpted the dinosaurs and antediluvian reptiles of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, unveiled in 1854, and drew the comparative plates used to explain them to the public. The plesiosaur reconstruction follows the one Richard Owen dictated to him for those models: this is how the remote past was imagined before a single film with a dinosaur in it existed.

Sizes: measurements, where each one is made and what it costs

Measurements of the garment, not of your body. Take one that fits you the way you like, lay it flat and measure: the width from seam to seam below the sleeve, and the length from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem. These are the ones the factory itself publishes, in centimetres.

Manufacturing tolerance: ±2 cm, as with any cotton garment.

Sizes 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL cost more because they use more fabric and the factory charges us more for them: we would rather say so here and stock them than not have them. The regular sizes all cost the same.

«Made in» comes from the warehouse Printful declares for that exact size, not from an estimate of ours.

What you ask us before buying

What animal is it exactly?
A plesiosaur, and reconstructed the way it was reconstructed in 1854: the version Richard Owen dictated to Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for the Crystal Palace models at Sydenham. Today we know the neck did not go like that. The drawing shows how the remote past used to be shown, not how it was.
Does it have a hood or a pocket?
Neither of the two: it is a crew neck and the chest is clean. If you are after a hood and a kangaroo pocket, the same design is there on the hoodie, which has a two-layer lined hood with a drawstring and a kangaroo pocket at the front.
Does it shrink or lose its shape?
Not much: it is half cotton and half polyester, and that blend is exactly what takes the washes without going baggy at the cuffs. What does ruin it is a hot dryer, so dry it on low or straight in the air.
How long does it really take?
3 to 4 working days, printing and shipping included — the same lead time the rest of the site gives, because there is only one. The piece is made in the European Union, and that is where the lead time comes from. Above, over the button, you have the exact date for this one. The table below says where each size is made.
How much is shipping?
The page itself says so, above the button, before you pay and for whichever destination you pick in the dropdown. To Spain it is 4.29 €. The amount comes from the same rate the checkout charges, not from a separate list.
Why do some sizes cost more?
Because they use more fabric and the factory charges us more. We would rather stock the large sizes and say so in the table than not have them. The regular sizes all cost the same.
Can it be returned?
Yes. You have 14 days to withdraw without giving reasons — it is not a personalised product, so the right of withdrawal covers you — and 3 years of legal guarantee. If it arrives faulty or badly printed, we redo it or give you your money back. How it is made.
Where does the drawing on «Lámina de Hawkins, 1854»?
