What sizes are available for the Mike Ditka memorial hoodie?

The hoodie comes in standard adult unisex sizes ranging from Small to XXL. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit. Choosing the correct size depends on whether you prefer a fitted look or extra room for layering.

Does the print fade after washing?

The distressed style is intentional, but proper care helps maintain vibrancy. Wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry low to protect the ink quality over time. Following these simple steps preserves the contrast between the orange portrait and the navy background.
