Crooks & Castles Tracksuits Clothing

Crooks and Castles tracksuits put a fleece hoodie and matching joggers together as one set, so the top and bottom share a color, a print and a fabric. Crooks and Castles was founded in 2002, and these four sets show the range of its fleece work: plain silver capitals, an arched wordmark, a red chain print and a navy cloud dye. Each set comes in S through XXL, with the top and the bottom ordered together in one size. Read on for a closer look at the Crooks and Castles hoodie and jogger sets, what sits on each piece, and how to choose a size that suits both halves.

What Comes in Crooks and Castles Tracksuits

Two Pieces Cut From One Fleece

Every set is a hoodie plus joggers in brushed fleece of around 80% cotton and 20% polyester. The hoodie is the heavier half at roughly 480 GSM, and the joggers sit at roughly 420 GSM, which keeps the legs from feeling stiff while the top stays warm. Both pieces share one color and are dyed or printed to match.

Pullover or Full-Zip Tops

Three of the four sets use a pullover hoodie. The chain print set is the exception: its top is a full-zip hoodie with a white zip and white zipped pockets, which makes it easy to open up on a warmer day or wear over a tee from the Crooks and Castles printed t-shirts range.

The Four Sets in Detail

Three of the sets are mainly black, and one is dyed navy and white. Here is what sits on each top and each leg, based on the product photos. All four are also listed in the Crooks and Castles clothing for men section.

Silver CROOKS Down the Leg

The reflective logo tracksuit in black keeps to one word. CROOKS runs across the chest of the pullover in silver-gray, above a kangaroo pocket, and the joggers repeat it vertically on the lower leg. A white drawcord at the waist and cuffed ankles finish the bottoms. It is the most minimal of the four.

Arch Logo Hoodie with Clean Joggers

The black arch logo tracksuit pairs a pullover printed with a white arched CROOKS, an ampersand and a Castles script with joggers that carry only a small logo near the top of one thigh. The bottoms have a drawcord and cuffed ankles. If you only want the top half, the same arched design is sold on its own on the Crooks and Castles fleece hoodies page, in black and heather gray.

Red and Gold Chains on a Zip Set

The red chain print zip tracksuit is the boldest set. Its black full-zip hoodie has red and gold chain links printed across the hood and sleeves, plus a gold crest with a winged figure. The black joggers pick up the chains on side panels and carry a small crest on the thigh, with a drawcord waist. Chain graphics are one of the label's signature motifs, and this set leans hardest into them.

Navy Cloud Dye with Medusa Panels

The navy tie-dye Medusa tracksuit is dyed in a navy and white cloud pattern on both pieces. The pullover carries two black chest panels with a Crooks script and CASTLES and a Medusa emblem between them, while the joggers repeat a small panel print on one thigh and finish with a drawcord and cuffed ankles. The panel design has appeared on the label's Mad Klepto tie-dye pieces.

Getting the Size Right on a Set

Hoodie Fit Versus Jogger Fit

A set is ordered in one size, from S to XXL, so it helps to know how each half fits. The hoodie is a regular fit with room over a tee, and the joggers narrow toward cuffed ankles. Measure your chest and waist against the tracksuit and jogger size chart before you choose.

Waist, Drawcord and Cuffed Ankles

Each pair of joggers has a drawcord waist, so a little extra room can be pulled in. The cuffed ankles keep the hem off the ground even if the leg runs slightly long for you.

If Your Chest and Waist Disagree

If your chest points to one size and your waist to another, follow the chest. A hoodie that is too tight looks wrong straight away, while the drawcord on the joggers can take in a waist that is a touch loose.

Wearing the Halves Apart

A tracksuit does not have to be worn as a full set every day. The hoodie works on its own over other pants, and the joggers go well under a different top, which gives one set two or three outfits. The four sets also appear in the Crooks and Castles clothing for women section.

Mixing a Set with Other Pieces

On milder days, wear the joggers with a crewneck from the Crooks and Castles fleece crewneck sweatshirts range instead of the matching hoodie. The crews are cut at the same roughly 420 GSM as the joggers, so the outfit stays even in weight.

When it gets warm, trade the joggers for a pair from the Crooks and Castles fleece sweat shorts page and keep the tracksuit hoodie for the evening. Joggers are not sold on their own yet; the sweatpants category is still waiting on its first pieces, so for now the sets are the only way to get them.

Washing a Two-Piece Fleece Set

Wash both halves together so they fade at the same rate and stay a matched pair. Turn them inside out, use cold water and keep the tie-dye and red chain sets apart from light colors. Air drying protects the prints and the rib cuffs, and the fleece tracksuit care steps have the full routine.
