Product Insights
Twik's Crew Neck Fleece Sweatshirt relaxed fit is a $39 Simons-exclusive designed in Canada, offering extra room for layering or the option to size down for a fitted silhouette. Its brushed fleece lining and ribbed cuffs/hem provide more warmth than a standard cotton crewneck, but the fleece sheds lint on first washes—washing inside out reduces this. To prevent shrinkage, machine wash cold and tumble dry low; avoid high heat. Matching fleece pants are sold separately for a full lounging set, but only in select colorways. Perceived quality exceeds typical mass-market at this price point.
- Sizing
Sizing down one size achieves a fitted look without being too tight.
Why this is supported
The brand explains that the relaxed fit is intentionally roomier and recommends sizing down for a more fitted look:
The relaxed fit is intentionally roomier than standard sizing. If you prefer a more fitted look, we recommend sizing down in this style. Customers often find that taking one size smaller achieves a closer silhouette without being too tight.
How does the relaxed fit compare to standard sizing—should I size down for a more fitted look or is it true to size?However, sizing down reduces the extra chest and sleeve room that enables comfortable layering of a base layer, so the choice depends on whether the buyer prioritizes a fitted look or layering warmth.
- Layering
Relaxed fit has extra room for layering a base layer.
Why this is supported
Analysis of the relaxed fit states:
The relaxed cut is drawn with extra room through the chest and sleeves, so wearing a long-sleeve base layer underneath adds warmth without pulling or restricting motion—transforming the sweatshirt into a viable two-layer system for temperatures below its standalone comfort range.
How warm it is and layering potential — relaxed_fitThis confirms the design accommodates a base layer for additional warmth without restricting movement.
- Lint shedding
Brushed fleece sheds lint on first washes; washing inside out reduces it.
Why this is supported
The fleece lining is brushed (not looped) for softness, which means it typically sheds some lint initially. As stated in the product Q&A,
