Is THE DIVER Organic Cotton Hoodie good for everyday wear and layering?

Yes. THE DIVER Organic Cotton Hoodie is well suited for everyday wear and layering because it uses a mid-to-heavy 280gsm combed ringspun organic cotton with a brushed back jersey that balances warmth and softness. The double fabric hood, full needle double layer cuffs and ribbed hem preserve shape during repeated wear, while the kangaroo pouch pocket and self-colored cords add practical comfort. The hoodie is unisex in style and made-to-order, so it arrives as a finished garment ready to wear and pair with jackets or tees. This makes it a strong choice for commuters, travelers, and style-driven shoppers who want a wearable art piece for daily use. Note that it is not designed as a waterproof or insulated outer shell for extreme cold, so for very wet or subzero conditions you will want a dedicated weatherproof layer.

How sustainable and certified is THE DIVER hoodie compared to typical hoodies?

THE DIVER hoodie is produced to recognized sustainability standards rather than typical fast-fashion methods. It is made from combed ringspun organic cotton (100% for most colors; Heather Grey uses 90% organic cotton and 10% viscose) and is manufactured under WRAP-certified production. The garment carries Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) validation and OEKO-TEX certifications including STANDARD 100, STeP and MADE IN GREEN, which verify the organic input, restricted substances testing and responsible production chain. Additionally, FABA Collection produces pieces slow-fashion and made-to-order, reducing overproduction and waste. This combination of certified materials, audited production and limited-edition runs benefits eco-conscious buyers and collectors seeking traceable, lower-impact apparel. As a practical point, color and print appearance can vary slightly from images due to artisanal printing and organic dye batches.

How long will THE DIVER hoodie last with regular use and how should I care for it?

With normal care, THE DIVER hoodie should retain fit, fabric integrity and print quality for years. The 280gsm weight and combed ringspun organic cotton construction provide strength and resistance to pilling, while structural details such as double-layer cuffs, double fabric hood and ribbed hem reduce stretching at stress points. The product’s OEKO-TEX testing also indicates lower risk of degradative chemical residues. To maximize longevity, wash inside out on a gentle, cold cycle, avoid bleach and harsh detergents, tumble dry low or air dry, and iron on low inside out only if needed. These practices protect the printed artwork and fibers. Heavy abrasion, frequent hot drying or industrial laundering will shorten lifespan, so collectors and daily wearers who follow care guidance will see the best long-term performance.
