How does the sizing compare to standard North American sizes? Is this Korean sizing, and should I size up?

This sweatshirt uses Korean sizing, which runs 1–2 sizes smaller than standard North American sizes. Based on the available sizes (M and L), we recommend sizing up: Korean M roughly corresponds to US S, and Korean L to US M.

Does this 100% cotton sweatshirt shrink significantly after washing, and is there any special care needed to maintain the graphic print?

Yes, 100% cotton sweatshirts can shrink 3–5% in size when exposed to heat. To minimize shrinkage and protect the print, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low or hang dry.

How is the graphic print applied (e.g., screen-printed, heat-pressed) and how durable is it after multiple washes?

The product description indicates a 'print on the front and back,' which is most commonly screen-printed for cotton jersey garments. Screen printing is durable and should last many washes if you follow care instructions—avoid high heat when washing and drying to prevent cracking or fading.

What is the weight or thickness of the cotton jersey? Is it lightweight, midweight, or heavyweight?

The sweatshirt is made from 100% cotton jersey with a terry underside, which typically gives it a midweight feel—not as light as a t-shirt but not as heavy as a fleece hoodie. It should be suitable for layering or wearing on its own in mild to cool weather.

Product Insights

This Le 31 Peanuts Gang Sweatshirt, exclusive to Simons and imported from Seoul, is a midweight 100% cotton loopback terry piece that offers shape retention and breathability, absorbing moisture without feeling wet. Its smooth loopback surface ensures print clarity and reduces peeling risk for the screen-printed graphic. However, Korean sizing runs small (medium equals US small, large equals US medium) and cotton may shrink 3-5% with heat, so cold wash and low dry are recommended to preserve the print. At $125 CAD, its loopback fabric's durability justifies the price over fleece alternatives, and its midweight versatility allows layering for cooler weather.

Deep Research

What to expect from Le 31 quality and fit

Le 31 is designed and sold exclusively at the Canadian department store Simons — as a house brand, its production is directly overseen by a long-standing multi-brand retailer, which means quality and fit decisions are made with the same rigor applied to established outside brands, not farmed out to an anonymous white-label supplier.
Being part of the 'Imported from Seoul' collection connects the sweatshirt to Korean street style — a sibling piece describes this origin as an 'avant-garde fashion hotspot', signaling that the Peanuts print is a deliberate streetwear curation rather than a random character graphic.

What terry cotton jersey feels like

The loopback knit's natural skeleton holds the sweatshirt's silhouette, so it drapes cleanly without stretching out — you get a tailored look that stays crisp all day, unlike fleece garments that tend to grow baggy at the elbows and hem.
The flat, nap-free outer face gives the front-and-back Peanuts graphic a crisp, bleed-free canvas — this is the same print surface advantage that makes French terry preferred for high-density screen printing over fuzzy fleece.
The inner loops are left intact rather than brushed, giving the sweatshirt a soft but structured handfeel that breathes naturally — it feels airy on the skin and avoids the clamminess prone to fleece linings during active use.
The fine terry loops absorb 20–25% of their weight in moisture before feeling wet — about half again as much as flat jersey — so the sweatshirt actively pulls sweat off the skin, keeping you dry during errands or travel without the soggy chill of saturated fleece.

How this Peanuts sweatshirt compares to the market

The 'Imported from Seoul' designation is exclusive to Le 31 and not available through standard Peanuts licensing channels, moving this sweatshirt out of the mass-market $30–$60 licensed range and into a limited-distribution curated import tier that accounts for its $125 CAD price.
Unlike the 60/40 cotton-poly blends used in Old Navy and EMP Peanuts crewnecks (priced around $40–$50 CAD), this sweatshirt is 100% cotton jersey with a terry underside, a fabric combination that typically commands a higher cost and delivers a softer, more breathable feel consistent with premium loungewear at the $125 price point.
