Brought to the public by popular demand, we originally created this sweater for PICU and NICU nurses at the Children's Hospital to showcase all the love and care that goes into their day-to-day work. We have been getting requests to bring it back and make it public.
We wanted to make a zip-up hoodie for them because a zip-up is the most practical sweater for frontline professional healthcare workers. These workers don't have the time to take off all their ID badges and stethoscopes when they need to take a layer off or put one on. They need something that can keep them warm while charting at their stations or pop outside to catch their breath. Something they can put on and off easily while giving them a little warmth and comfort to help them get through their 12 hour plus shifts.
This zip-up is made from Bamboo Cotton from Rayon. Bamboo does not require fertilizers or pesticides for cultivation and it grows rapidly and profusely without depleting the soil. Bamboo has a lower environmental impact than pesticide-laden conventional cotton and petroleum-derived nylon and polyester fabrics. Bamboo is also a superior fabric in terms of softness and functionality. Bamboo is inherently moisture wicking and anti-bacterial.
Pre-washed, pre-shrunk.
70% rayon from bamboo
30% organic cotton.

I love the hoodie I ordered. It looks great and is so soft and comfy. Local Laundry processed and shipped my order quickly.
Nice hooded jacket but took a long time to produce and deliver the jacket.
Hi Marie!
Apologies it took so long for us to produce and deliver your garment, if there is anything we can do to make up for it please let us know. We have since worked with our Canadian manufacturing team to be better prepared the next time our Canadian supply chain is impacted on the same scale that COVID had on it.
Fire us an email at info@locallaundry.ca if you would like to return your garment and we'd be happy to issue a full refund.

Pros: Feels great, very soft, not very thick and looks great
Cons:
- too long (bought a small and I'm 5'9)
- zipper isn't too great
- logo placement too high and most of the time the hood covers the top of it
- pills easily
If some adjustments were made I would definitely buy it again but right now I would pass on another one
Thank you so much for your support and this incredible feedback. We're going to take all of these concerns back to our production team and see what we can do to make the garment better. The best part about producing garments in Canada is that you can work directly with the team to make adjustments like these.
If you ever need anything please let us know!
