What is a vintage wash hoodie?
A vintage wash hoodie is garment-dyed and washed after it's sewn, which softens the fleece and gives the colour an uneven, faded tone — like a hoodie that's been worn for years. No two pieces fade exactly the same.

Vintage wash vs. sun-fade vs. distressed
Vintage wash fades the whole garment evenly. Sun-fade lightens the high points, like the shoulders and hood, the way real sunlight does. Distressed adds raw edges and small rips. All three give a retro look; pick based on how worn you want it to read.
How to style a retro hoodie
Match the wash family: a faded hoodie looks best with washed sweatpants, light denim or worn-in cargos. Chunky sneakers or classic skate shoes finish the 90s look.
Caring for washed fleece
Wash cold, inside out, with similar colours for the first few washes, since washed dyes can bleed slightly. Hang dry to keep the fade even and avoid shrinkage.
