The Essential Guide to FPS Shaka Hoodie Care (and Your Tees Too)

What Makes This Product Different

The FPS Shaka Premium Hoodie isn't just another pullover - it's a heavyweight 320gsm fleece built to last. At $49.99, it's the kind of hoodie that feels substantial from the first wear. The brushed interior adds softness without sacrificing durability, and the bold FPS Shaka logo paired with fan-inspired graphics makes it instantly recognizable. Whether you're wearing it to a stream, a meetup, or just lounging at home, this hoodie holds its shape and attitude.

Design Story

The design of the FPS Shaka Premium Hoodie draws directly from the energy of FPS Shaka's content. The front features a clean logo print, while the back showcases fan-inspired artwork that nods to inside jokes and community moments. It's designed to be street-ready - not just merch you wear to bed, but something you'd rock out the door. The same care went into the FPS Shaka Classic T-Shirt ($24.99), which carries the same logo on a soft, pre-shrunk cotton blend.

Materials and Quality

• Hoodie: 80% cotton, 20% polyester, 320gsm fleece with brushed interior. The cotton ensures breathability; the polyester adds strength and resists pilling. The brushed interior traps heat without feeling scratchy.
• Tees: The Classic T-Shirt uses a 100% cotton jersey (180gsm) for a soft hand feel. The Polo Shirt ($34.99) and Tank Top ($19.99) use similar premium fabrics, all designed to survive multiple washes without fading or shrinking.

Sizing and Fit

These pieces run true to size but with a relaxed fit. If you want a more fitted look, go down one size. For an oversized vibe (especially for the hoodie), size up. The hoodie has ribbed cuffs and hem that keep their elasticity, and the drawstring hood stays adjustable after washing. Check the size chart on the official FPS Shaka store for exact measurements.

How to Style It

• Hoodie: Pair with slim jeans or joggers and your favorite sneakers. Layer under a denim jacket for colder days.
• Classic T-Shirt: Tuck into cargo pants or wear untucked with shorts. Roll the sleeves for a relaxed look.
• Polo Shirt: Great for a smarter-casual vibe - wear with chinos or dark jeans.
• Tank Top: Perfect for gym sessions or summer layering under an open flannel.

How to Care for Your FPS Shaka Hoodie and Tees

To keep your FPS Shaka gear looking fresh, follow these care tips:

Washing

• Turn hoodies and tees inside out before washing. This protects the printed graphics from friction.
• Use cold water (max 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Hot water can cause shrinkage and fade colors.
• Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners - softeners can break down the cotton fibers and ruin the brushed interior.
• Wash dark colors together to avoid color transfer.

Drying

• Never tumble dry on high heat. The polyester blend can warp, and the print may crack. Air drying is best: lay the hoodie flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger.
• If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and remove while still slightly damp. Then finish air drying.
• For tees, hang drying is ideal. Fold and store to avoid stretching the neckline.

Storing

• Fold hoodies and tees to maintain their shape. Hanging heavy hoodies can cause the shoulders to stretch.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Special Notes for Specific Products

• FPS Shaka Premium Hoodie: Because of the 320gsm weight, avoid over-drying - the fleece interior can become stiff if overheated. Fluff it in the dryer on no heat after air drying to restore softness.
• FPS Shaka Classic T-Shirt: Pre-shrunk, but still avoid hot water to keep the fit consistent.
• FPS Shaka Polo Shirt: Button it up before washing to prevent snagging.
• FPS Shaka Tank Top: Delicate straps - hand wash recommended for longevity.

General Tips

• Wash new items separately for the first wash to set colors.
• Don't iron directly on the print. If needed, iron inside out on low heat.
• Treat stains immediately with a small amount of detergent, not rubbing alcohol (which can strip the print).

FAQ

How do I prevent my FPS Shaka hoodie from shrinking? Wash in cold water and air dry. If you use a dryer, choose the lowest heat and remove while slightly damp. The 80/20 cotton-poly blend is pre-shrunk, but heat can still cause minimal shrinkage.

Can I put my hoodie in the washing machine? Yes, but always inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid heavy agitation and skip the spin cycle if possible.

Why is my hoodie pilling? Pilling can happen with friction, especially if you wear a backpack or sit on rough surfaces. Use a fabric shaver to remove pills - it won't damage the fleece.

How do I remove stains from my FPS Shaka tee? Blot the stain with cold water and apply a drop of mild detergent. Gently rub the fabric together, then rinse. Avoid bleach or hot water, which can set the stain.

What's the best way to store my FPS Shaka hoodie for the summer? Fold it and place in a breathable storage bin or drawer. Avoid plastic bags that trap moisture. A cedar block can help repel moths.
