Waffle Hoodie

The hoodie is 100% organic cotton with GOTS named as the organic standard — an exact fibre percentage with no synthetic blend, which matters for a layer worn against skin all day. Design is in San Francisco and manufacturing in China; the specific mill and the cotton-growing origin are not published.

Construction is spelled out in concrete terms — a classic front zip, hood, hemmed cuffs and bottom hem, and a kanga pocket, with no drawstring, neck tie, snap or decorative appliqué anywhere on the garment. Neither a test method nor a result is published for zip-pull retention, small parts or seam strength on the apparel line.

The fabric dyes on this hoodie are OEKO-TEX 100 dyes, and the organic cotton fabrics are dyed with low-impact, azo-free dyes in compliance with GOTS requirements — two named standards plus an explicit azo-free statement, on a cotton base cloth rather than a synthetic carrying disperse dyes. No certificate number or dye-house test report is published.

This hoodie is 100% organic GOTS-certified cotton with OEKO-TEX 100 fabric dyes — a fibre-and-dye level claim rather than a certification held by the finished garment, and no certificate number accompanies either. The brand's GOTS statement elsewhere covers its plush line, not its apparel.

We queried the full CPSC recall corpus — 9,944 records spanning June 1973 to August 2026 — and found one entry for Apple Park: a 2013 recall of children's loungewear for violating the federal flammability standard. Nothing has been filed in the thirteen years since, and nothing in the layette or romper category this garment belongs to.

Two named standards sit behind this hoodie: GOTS for the cotton and OEKO-TEX 100 for the fabric dyes. Both attach to the fibre and the dyes rather than being held by the finished garment, and no licence or certificate numbers are published for either. The brand's wider GOTS statement covers its plush items rather than its apparel.

Nothing about this hoodie is sold on easy-care, wrinkle-resistant, non-iron, stain-resistant or water-repellent performance, and the care routine is an ordinary cold machine wash with a cool iron. Flame-retardant materials are not used, but no explicit declaration that the garment carries no wrinkle-resistant finish and no water or stain repellent is published.

Care for this hoodie is spelled out and consistent everywhere it appears: machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, tumble dry low, cool iron, do not bleach, do not dry clean — the same instructions given for the organic layette. There is no advice to wash the garment before first wear.

Fibre content is published for this hoodie, and the garments are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China. The individual mill or factory, and any warranty term, are not published.

This hoodie is a solid jewel or earth tone with no screen print, no appliqué and no raised plastisol design, and the cotton is dyed with low-impact, azo-free dyes. The one piece of hardware is the front zip, and whether its metal content includes nickel or lead is not disclosed.
