Red sweatsuits in velour and two-thread jersey
Our red sweatsuit comes two ways, in velour and in two-thread jersey. Both are a zip hoodie with matching pants. In the UK you’d look for a womens red tracksuit, and it’s the same set.
Velour for the holidays, jersey for an ordinary Tuesday
The velour set is the soft one. Strictly speaking it’s velvet, the fabric lots of us call velour, and it feels good against the skin. Red comes out deep on it. We’d wear this set for a weekend walk on a clear fall day or a drive out of town. At home it’s dressed-up enough to welcome friends over the holidays.
Two-thread jersey is a knit that’s neither thin nor heavy, and it has a little stretch. Easy to move in. It’s the set for wanting some brightness on a day when nothing special is happening. This red sweatsuit suits warm spring weather or a summer evening that’s turned cool, and in winter it becomes a bright set for the house. Its pants follow the line of the leg. The hood is useful on a windy waterfront or in the park.
How the hoodie and the pants work apart
Do you have to wear a set as a set? Not at all. Got a favorite pair of jeans? Start there. Zip either hoodie over a white T-shirt with them, and the jersey one looks good with white pants too. The velour pants go with a plain sweatshirt on mornings when you need to be out the door fast.
Red this bright wants quiet company. We’d put white sneakers, a plain bag and a black leather jacket with both sets. On a chilly spring day a straight-cut coat fits over the velour hoodie. Tie your hair back and the hood lies flat.
Choosing a size when the pants fit close
We sew each set in XS to XL. With the jersey one, go by your hips, since its pants are cut to follow the leg. The velour set goes by the size chart on its page.
Since there are only these two, the real choice is the fabric. Pick velour for softness and a festive look, or jersey for everyday errands. If you’d like other colors or cuts, see all our sweatsuits, more velour sets, the pink ones or red two-piece sets that aren’t sporty.
Frequently asked questions
Is a womens red tracksuit only for sport?
No. Ours are made for walks, travel and weekends at home. With a leather jacket over the hoodie, the jersey set looks bolder and goes downtown.
How do I wash a red sweatsuit so it stays bright?
Inside out, at 30 °C or cooler. Skip the tumble dryer and the radiator, and hang the velour one to dry.
Do both hoodies zip up?
Yes. Each jacket has a zipper and a hood, and each comes with its own pants.
What if I’m between two sizes?
Send us your measurements. We’ll look at them and tell you which of the two to order.
