Essentials Falcons 90s Relaxed Hoodie

Which black? The shades on this page

"Black" covers three slightly different finishes across the lines. Side by side the difference is small, but it matters if you're matching to pants you already own.

Jet black – Core Collection

Deepest, flattest black. Pullover with the rubberised chest logo. The one to buy if you want it to disappear under a coat.

Iron – 90s & Campus lines

A whisper warmer, reads charcoal-black in daylight. Pairs best with the black track pants from the same drop.

Black – 1977 Lightweight

Thinner loopback fleece, so the black sits a touch softer. The spring-and-autumn option for Sydney and Brisbane.

Black zip-up

Full-length zip, matte pulls. Same jet-black dye as Core; made for Melbourne's four-seasons-in-a-day commute.

When Australians actually wear it

Black fleece in Australia isn't a winter-only buy. Here's how the year breaks down by region – useful if you're deciding between the mid-weight Core and the Lightweight 1977.

Months	Melbourne · Hobart · Canberra	Sydney · Adelaide · Perth	Brisbane · Gold Coast · Darwin
Dec – Feb	Evenings only; Lightweight 1977	Early mornings, coastal evenings; Lightweight	Indoors – aircon offices, cinemas, flights
Mar – May	Daily from April; Core pullover	Daily by late April; Core or zip-up	Evenings from May; Lightweight
Jun – Aug	Core under a coat or puffer	Core as the outer layer most days	Core on the handful of cold snaps; otherwise Lightweight
Sep – Nov	Core through September, zip-up after	Zip-up – easy to open by lunchtime	Lightweight or shorts-and-hoodie evenings

Keeping black black – the Australian care routine

Strong UV and hard water are what fade black fleece here, not washing frequency. Five things that keep the colour deep:

Wash cold, inside out, with other darks – warm cycles lift dye faster in hard-water areas like Adelaide and Perth.
Line dry in the shade, not direct sun. Sun-drying is the single biggest cause of grey-cast black in Queensland and WA.
Skip fabric softener – it coats the fleece and makes the black look dusty.
Tumble dryer only on low, only if you must; it also cracks the rubber logo over time.
Store folded, not hung – hangers stretch the dropped shoulder.

Black vs the other neutrals

Black vs grey

Grey shows the fleece texture and lint; black hides both but shows fading sooner. If you'll wear it with black jeans most days, grey breaks the column up. Otherwise black. See grey.

Black vs brown

Brown is the softer, warmer read and photographs better in daylight; black is sharper at night and in the city. Many people end up with one of each. See brown.

Black Essentials hoodie – Australian buyer questions

Is the price in Australian dollars?

Yes – A$ on every product and A$ at checkout. No foreign-currency conversion and no import duty surprise at the door.

How long does delivery take to my state?

Dispatch from [DISPATCH LOCATION] within [N] business days; metro NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and ACT usually [X–Y] business days after that, WA, NT and TAS a day or two longer. Tracked from door to door.

Does the black pullover come in a matching tracksuit?

Yes – the black tracksuit pairs the Core pullover with the black track pants from the same dye lot, so top and bottom are an identical shade.

What size should I take?

The cut is oversized. Most Australians take their usual size for the full drape, or one size down for a regular fit. Height-based guidance is on the men's page and AU dress-size conversion on the women's page.

Can I return it if the black isn't the shade I expected?

Yes – unworn, tags on, within [N] days. Exchange for another colour or a refund to the original payment method.
