Product Questions
1. How do your items fit? Should I size up?
Our items fit true to size with a slightly relaxed cut. We go for a streetwear vibe — not too tight, not too baggy.
- Hoodies & T-shirts: Oversized streetwear fit. If you're between sizes, stick with your usual size for a relaxed fit, or size up if you want extra room.
- Always check the size chart on each product page for exact measurements (chest, length, shoulders).
- Usually wear a M and want a looser fit? Go for L.
Tip: Scroll down on any product page for detailed size guides.
2. What materials do you use?
Quality first. That's why we use premium fabrics built to last:
- Hoodies: 65% cotton / 35% polyester, 320-380 gsm (heavy-duty)
- T-shirts: 100% ringspun cotton, 200 gsm
- Caps: 80% acrylic / 20% wool blend (durable twill)
- Beanies: 100% acrylic or merino wool blend
All fabrics are pre-washed to prevent shrinkage. No fast-fashion junk — these are pieces that last for years.
3. Do your hoodies shrink after washing?
Minimally. Our hoodies are pre-shrunk, so major shrinkage isn't an issue.
Wash tips:
- Wash at max 30°C, inside out
- Do not tumble dry (air dry instead)
- Expect a maximum of 2-3% shrinkage after the first wash
Follow the care instructions on the label and your hoodie will stay in top condition.
4. Are the prints durable? Won't they crack or fade?
Our prints are DTF (Direct To Film) — the best printing technique for durability. No cheap screen prints that start cracking after five washes.
Why DTF wins:
- High wash resistance (50+ washes without losing quality)
- Flexible, no cracking
- Colors stay bold
Caps & Beanies: Embroidered logo — literally never coming off.
5. Can I customize products or order custom designs?
Right now we don't offer custom orders — we're focused on our signature collection.
Want to buy in bulk (50+ pieces) for a crew, company, or event? Email info@dutchrailworker.nl and we'll see what we can do.
