Flint and Tinder Hoodie | Premium American-Made Sweatshirts
Our 10-Year Hoodie is the cornerstone of the Flint and Tinder hoodie lineup — a heavyweight pullover designed to last a decade of daily wear. We build it from 14-ounce French terry cotton sourced from American mills and construct every piece in our Los Angeles factory.
This hoodie features reinforced stress points at the pockets and cuffs, plus our signature triple-needle stitching throughout. The relaxed fit works over layers without feeling bulky, while the brushed interior creates warmth without weight. We offer a true heritage fit that doesn't stretch out or lose its shape after washing.

American-Made Construction and Materials
Every Flint and Tinder hoodie starts with cotton from American mills, which we cut and sew in our Los Angeles factory. We use 100% ring-spun cotton for superior softness and durability — no synthetic blends that pill or lose shape after a season.
Our 10-Year and Full-Zip styles feature 13-14 ounce French terry, which creates structure without stiffness. The fabric weight keeps its form through hundreds of wash cycles, while the brushed interior breaks in gradually for a personalized fit. Our lightweight option uses 9-ounce loopback construction, offering the same durability at a breathable weight for layering.
Sizing and Fit Guide
Our hoodies follow a heritage fit philosophy — relaxed through the body with room for layering, but not oversized or baggy. The 10-Year Hoodie and Full-Zip styles run true to size with a classic cut that sits at the natural waist.
For the Lightweight Pullover, we use a slimmer athletic fit that works better under jackets. This style runs slightly smaller through the chest and sleeves, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer over thick base layers.
Care Instructions for Long-Term Durability
Machine wash your Flint and Tinder hoodie in cold water with like colors. We recommend turning the garment inside out to protect the exterior surface and preserve the brushed interior texture.
Avoid fabric softener, which coats the cotton fibers and reduces absorbency over time. Use a standard liquid detergent and run a normal cycle — our French terry construction handles regular washing without special treatment.

Common Questions About Our Hoodies
Our hoodies run true to size with a heritage fit that's relaxed but not oversized. The 10-Year and Full-Zip styles offer more room through the body than athletic-fit brands like Nike or Lululemon, but aren't as baggy as workwear brands.
If you typically wear a medium in standard American sizing, order a medium. The Lightweight Pullover runs slightly slimmer through the chest, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer over thick shirts.
We pre-wash all our hoodies before shipping, which removes the majority of potential shrinkage. You may see minimal contraction — typically less than half an inch in length — after your first home wash, but the dimensions stabilize after that.
Washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat preserves the original fit. Hot water and high dryer heat can cause additional shrinkage, though our construction methods minimize this compared to non-pre-washed cotton garments.
The primary differences are fabric weight, construction methods, and manufacturing location. We use 14-ounce French terry cotton from American mills — roughly twice the weight of standard hoodies from mall brands.
We reinforce stress points with bartack stitching and use triple-needle construction at every seam. The ribbed cuffs and waistband are cut from a heavier gauge material that resists stretching. These details, combined with American manufacturing oversight, create a hoodie that maintains its shape and integrity through years of regular wear.
The 10-Year Hoodie and Full-Zip styles work well as outer layers in temperatures from roughly 40-60°F. The heavyweight French terry provides enough insulation for cool mornings and evenings without requiring a jacket.
For colder weather, these hoodies layer perfectly under canvas jackets or waxed coats. The Lightweight Pullover is specifically designed as a layering piece and works best as a midweight layer rather than a standalone outer garment in cold conditions.
The 10-Year Hoodie (pullover) offers maximum warmth because there's no zipper to create a gap down the front. The kangaroo pocket runs continuously across the front, providing more hand-warming space.
The Full-Zip Hoodie offers easier on-and-off versatility and works better as a layering piece over button-up shirts. The side-entry pockets sit flatter when you're wearing a backpack or sitting down. Choose based on whether you prioritize warmth (pullover) or layering flexibility (zip).
We photograph our hoodies in natural lighting to represent the true color as accurately as possible. Monitor settings can affect how colors appear on your screen, but most customers report that the actual garment matches their expectations.
Our Charcoal is a dark gray with slight brown undertones, Navy is a classic deep blue, Heather Gray is a medium gray with visible texture, and Natural is an undyed off-white cream. If you're between two colors, our customer service team can send additional reference photos before you order.
We offer free returns and exchanges within 60 days of purchase. If the fit isn't right, email our customer service team for a prepaid return label — we'll send a different size or issue a full refund to your original payment method.
The hoodie should be unworn with tags attached for a full refund. We accept returns on worn items for store credit if you've given it a fair try and the fit simply doesn't work for your body type.
