The sweatshirt for match nights, at a reduced price.
Hood, full zip, round neck or half zip
The hoodie, with its drawstring and kangaroo pocket, protects your neck from the wind in open stands. The zip sweatshirt opens and closes according to the temperature and can be put on effortlessly. The round neck, without a fastening, remains the most understated and works well both at the stadium and in town. The half zip, with its short fastening at the neck, comes from training outfits: closer to the body, it can be zipped up to the chin on cold days, and staff members often wear it on the sidelines.

Brushed fleece, loopback and weight
The inside of a sweatshirt is made of brushed fleece, whose brushed fibres trap air and provide a soft and warm feel, or loopback, with small unbrushed loops, which is more breathable and better suited for mid-season. The weight, expressed in grams per square metre, indicates thickness: around 250, a sweatshirt remains light; above 320, it becomes genuinely warm for winter evenings. A cotton and polyester blend reduces shrinkage and keeps its colours longer than cotton alone.
Men's, women's or children's fit: choosing your size
A sweatshirt is worn with a bit of ease: you take your usual size for everyday wear, one size up to wear over a thick layer on match nights. The women's fit is shorter and more fitted at the waist, with narrower shoulders. The ribbed cuffs and hem should remain flexible: if they are tight as soon as you try it on, the larger size is preferable. For a child, you base it on their stature and accept slightly long sleeves, which can be rolled up in the first year.

Frequently asked questions
How can I prevent a sweatshirt from pilling?
Wash it inside out, at 30 degrees, with similar fabric, and avoid the tumble dryer, as heat and friction damage the fibres. Brushed fleece is more sensitive than loopback.
Is a club sweatshirt a good gift?
It’s one of the easiest gifts to get right for a rugby fan, provided you know their size. A round neck or hoodie in their team's colours can be worn all winter, at the stadium and at home.
Does a sweatshirt shrink in the wash?
A sweatshirt made of cotton alone may lose a bit of length on the first wash, especially at high temperatures. Washing at 30 degrees followed by flat drying significantly reduces this risk.
Are there XV de France sweatshirts?
Yes, the XV de France offers supporter sweatshirts, with hoods or round necks, mostly in blue with the rooster on the chest. Major clubs like Stade Toulousain also provide their own models.
How do I care for an embroidered logo on a sweatshirt?
Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing to protect the embroidery from rubbing against the drum. Ironing should be done on the reverse side, at a low temperature, without ever placing the iron directly on the design.
