WHAT MAKES THE APPLIQUÉ SPECIAL

This design is not simply printed onto the sweatshirt.

The large “HAUNTED” lettering uses fabric appliqué, which means fabric is placed into the design and secured with embroidery stitching.

That gives the finished piece:

• More visible texture
• A layered handmade appearance
• Extra dimension compared with a flat print
• A cozy patchwork-style finish

Because appliqué uses real fabric, small variations in pattern placement may occur. That is part of what makes each piece feel individually made.

SENSORY-FRIENDLY COMFORT

A permanent soft fusible backing is applied over the inside of the embroidered area.

This helps:

• Cover scratchy embroidery threads
• Create a smoother feel against the skin
• Give the inside a cleaner finished appearance
• Make the stitched area more comfortable for everyday wear

SIZING & FIT

This sweatshirt has a classic unisex fit.

• Order your normal size for a relaxed everyday fit
• Size up 1 size for a roomier look
• Size up 2 sizes for an extra cozy oversized fit

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Machine wash cold
