Our Carsicko tracksuits, hoodies, and how to look after them are all discussed straight to the point with the writing of Carsicko.
It was a simple idea that Carsicko had when he began in London. Owen Otasowie couldn’t find clothes that felt like him, so he made them himself. That was 2021. Ever since, the brand has expanded as a result of the garments being genuine. They were worn by grime artists. Footballers wore them. They were discovered by people themselves and not through a large-scale advertising campaign.
Carsicko Tracksuit
Our Carsicko Tracksuit is the most searched item in our whole range. There’s a reason for that. Set consisting of top and bottom of high quality fleece-back fabric. Tapered cuts. Bold branding. It’s automatic from the gym to the street. Most of the fabrics have weights in the range of 380gsm, which is not only thick enough to retain shape but also not so heavy to overheat. All is held together by ribbed cuffs and hems. For first-time users, go for this one. It’s the section that reveals a lot about our clothing-making process.
Carsicko Hoodies
Carsicko Hoodies are made of a heavy weight cotton fleece. Thick, durable, and solid. There are rock wash, full-zip, logo and London editions. The zip-up ones are suitable for layering. Put one over a t-shirt in conditions which are not quite cold enough to wear a jacket over it, or put one under a coat when it is cold enough to wear a coat. The pullover styles feature a double lined hood, and a functional kangaroo pocket. Screen-printed graphics are cured properly, so they don’t crack after three washes. An easy way to add to your tracksuit collection without making a whole new purchase is to add a hoodie.
Black Carsicko Tracksuit
The Black Carsicko Tracksuit punishes you for cutting corners. Hot wash? It fades. Softener? It goes dull. Lint? Sticks to it like it’s got a grudge. So: inside out, 30°C gentle, mild detergent, dark wash only. No bleach. No softener.
The air dries it away from direct sun. Don’t wash it every week — spot clean small marks instead. If it bobbles, a fabric shaver on a gentle setting sorts it. Don’t pick at it with your fingers.
Carsicko Pink Heart Tracksuit
This is a Carsicko pink heart track suit. The Carsicko Pink Heart Tracksuit is different. It’s fun, but not loud, and features a heart shape on the hood and pants. Easy to wash, soft fabric, ribbed cuffs. It’s worn during the day for walks, shopping, or simply lounging around at home. Pink isn’t a neon shout, it’s a soft rose, which means it can go with grey, white or black. The heart is printed, not embroidered, to maintain smoothness of fabric against skin. To preserve the print, wash inside out. It’s a set that receives praise and admiration, in a positive sense. It’s comfortable enough you’ll wear it, rather than check it out.
Carsicko Red Tracksuit
For colour that truly communicates, Carsicko Red Tracksuit might be a good call. Relaxed fit, breathable, ribbed cuffs that hold their shape. It looks great with a simple t-shirt or can be worn under a hooded shirt in colder weather. The red is dark and deep and not orangey, and thus it doesn’t conflict with much. The fleece-back construction is the same throughout the range, with the fabric being warm but not bulky. Note the red appears lighter than dark colors, so be sure to steer clear of any transfer that could occur. Rinse off with the same colours in cool water and it will remain sharp for years.
Carsicko Logo Brown Tracksuit
The Carsicko Logo Brown Tracksuit is a kind of neutral zone suit that can be used with anything. Clean jacket with matching joggers, clean logo. It’s the one you can wear for 3 days a week and no one will ever know. Brown is an earthy and muted colour that pairs well with black, white, cream and olive. The logo is simple – that’s the idea. Not all pieces have to be shouty. For those who enjoy the brand, but not as a billboard. It features a full zip front and two zip up pockets. The joggers are tapered with ribbed cuffs. Wear it with white trainers and you’re done.
Carsicko Orange Tracksuit
The Carsicko Orange Tracksuit is certainly not for blending in. Thick, large, bright orange that retains color. It has a tendency to reveal building defects earlier than dark colours do, which is to be expected with it so we take care with the finish. Both white trainers and black trainers have a place of service. White will maintain its cleanliness. Black is more pungent. The orange is more of a burnt orange than anything, not too highlighter-y, thus giving it a considered look. It is so big that you can put a hoodie under it if you desire. Rinse off with cold water and air dry. Bright colours do not like hot water: this one, no exception.
The Best Way to Wash and Dry It So It Will Last
This is more important than they realize. The lifespan of a good tracksuit can be cut short when it’s not looked after properly.
Washing
Inside out, gentle cycle, cold water. Hot water will have a negative effect on the elastic and colour. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener. It covers the brushed texture in time and also coats the fleece lining. Do not wash with bulky items such as towels or jeans. Pilling is caused by the abrasion.
Drying
The best course of action is to air dry. Hang it on a rack or spread it out, away from the light. For quicker drying, place on lowest heat and remove when it’s still slightly damp. The fastest way to either shrink a tracksuit or damage the elastic is by exposing it to high heat. Don’t forget that our own product pages state the same thing: cold wash, low heat, no bleach.
