Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Embrace Hoodie and the Embrace Sport Hoodie?
The Embrace Hoodie is made from a silky, breathable fabric of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, for the gym, a casual day or a run outside. The Embrace Sport Hoodie is a soft, lightweight cotton blend with a tapered fit, side pockets and the grid code from James' story.
Is the Casual Jacket a training jacket?
It is built for any time of day rather than one workout. The Casual Jacket is made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane with a sleek, casual look, so it works over a training outfit as well as with everyday clothes.
Does the Embrace Sport Hoodie have pockets?
Yes, it has side pockets. It pairs with the Embrace Sport Bottom, which has them too.
How should a men's sport hoodie fit, and how do I pick my size?
The Embrace Sport Hoodie has a tapered fit with just enough stretch to move with you. Measure your chest around the fullest part and check the chest, length and sleeve per size on the product page chart; the Embrace Hoodie and Casual Jacket each have their own chart.
How do I wash a men's hoodie?
Wash it with like colours and don't tumble dry it; that is the care instruction on the Embrace Hoodie and Embrace Sport Hoodie. The Casual Jacket carries the same no tumble dryer instruction.
Men's gym hoodies and jackets
This collection brings together the gym hoodies and jackets from the men's line. They sit here as one group because they do the same job: the layer that goes on last. A gym hoodie is the piece you reach for most and think about least. Over your shirt on the way to the gym, through the warm-up, then simply the rest of the day. That is why these styles are designed to look as good outside the gym as inside it. Muted, neutral colours and clean lines, with no logo across the chest.
You will find the Embrace Hoodie and the Embrace Sport Hoodie for training days, and the Casual Jacket for when you want a layer that falls a little sharper. The hoodies are the most-worn pieces in the men's collection and work loose over a gym t-shirt or on their own. The Casual Jacket is the pick for colder mornings and for moments when a hoodie feels too casual. All three sit in the same colour line, so they pair with each other and with the rest of the collection.
In the gym a hoodie mostly works as a mid layer. You keep it on through the first sets, take it off once you are warm and throw it back on after the last one. Choose your size on how you want to wear it: close to the body, or roomier so it goes over a gym shirt. Torn between two sizes? You have 60 days to try them at home and swap.
Outside the gym that same hoodie is the easiest piece in the wardrobe. Pair it with the Embrace Shorts when it is warm, or with the Performance Bottom when it turns colder. The neutral tones make that choice simple, because they go with each other and with what you already own. That is where premium gym hoodies differ from a basic off the shelf: not in the label, but in how often you end up wearing them. A jacket does the same job outdoors, with a little more structure.
