Balenciaga

The drop shoulder is the thing to watch. On these patterns the shoulder seam is designed to fall partway down the upper arm and the body to hang away from the chest, so a jacket that looks right on the hanger can still be wrong if that seam lands on your actual shoulder. Choose the size that puts the seam where the design intends and accept the longer sleeve; sizing down to fix the sleeve usually destroys the line.

Wash them inside out on a cold, gentle cycle and skip the tumble dryer, which is what shrinks heavyweight cotton and cracks printed or embroidered graphics. Reshape the garment while it is damp and dry it flat if you have the space, since hanging wet heavy fleece drags the shoulders down over time. Wash less often than instinct suggests, too: airing a sweatshirt overnight handles most ordinary wear.
