Cotton Sweatpants: Why Heavyweight Cotton Wins and How to Wash It

Cotton sweatpants are breathable, soft on bare skin and get better with wear. Heavyweight cotton adds structure, so they hang straight instead of clinging.

Why choose cotton sweatpants?

Cotton breathes better than most synthetic fleece and feels softer against the skin. It is also easy to wash and holds its shape over years of wear.

What does heavyweight mean?

Heavyweight means thicker, denser fabric, usually measured in GSM (grams per square metre). It drapes better, feels substantial and keeps its shape after washing.

How to wash cotton sweatpants without shrinking

Wash cold and inside out with similar colours, using mild detergent. Avoid hot water and high heat. Hang dry or tumble on low. Wash dark colours like burgundy and black separately for the first few washes to limit dye bleed.
