The Carsicko black tracksuit is the one you buy when you want something that does the job day in, day out. No flashy colours. No over styled designs. Black matches anything, and ours is made to last more than one season.
We are Carsicko. London streetwear brand. This is the second most popular colourway in our collection after grey and is built to the same heavyweight construction. Here's what you need to know before you order.

What the Black Tracksuit Is Made Of

Same fabric as our entire collection of garments: 380gsm heavyweight cotton fleece, brushed inside. The majority of Carsicko are around 280 to 320gsm. Our density is higher, so it maintains its shape, insulates well and will not sag after a few washes.
It's a full zip-up with a sharp collar, and the Carsicko logo front and back. The joggers go from thigh to ankle with ribbed cuffs so they sit clean on your trainers and don't drag on the floor. When it comes to hiding crinkles from daily office life and commuting, black does the job better than grey, and it's also better at hiding creases and dog hairs from snuggling up on buses, trains and the tube.

How It Fits

The Carsicko Tracksuit follows the same loose and boxy fit as our grey design. It's loose fitting in the chest and shoulders. A pair of loose-fitting joggers. Cut for the London streetwear scene rather than gym wear.
Size it how you like! Your regular size for the baggy fit, one size down for a more fitted look. Sizes are from S to 3XL and the jacket and joggers are based on the same size guide, so you can buy a matching set without having to second guess.
A quick honest note: if you normally wear slim fit clothing, these will feel large. That is how they are supposed to be. Read the size chart before ordering, particularly if you are in-between sizes.

Styling It Without Overthinking

Black is by far the easiest streetwear colour to style. Wearing the full outfit with white trainers is the ultimate clean look. Wearing all black with black trainers looks a little bit edgier and it can work for an evening out. Grey trainers are in between.
Divide the pieces and you'll have even more to spend. In warmer months, the jacket goes over a Carsicko T-Shirt. In colder seasons the joggers work with a Carsicko Hoodie and the black jogger gets thrown in with a grey or white hoodie to seem styled on purpose.
For additional tiers, our Carsicko Jacket series rolls underneath the zip-up without any bunching. The black tracksuit additionally does nicely beneath a extra lengthy coat in winter, good if in your commute and wish to keep heat with out carrying one thing cumbersome.

Washing It Properly

Depending on how you wash it, heavyweight cotton fleece is rock solid.
Wash 43°c (warm) with other colours; do not use fabric conditioner, as it coats the fleece and makes it stiff. Do not tumble dry; the heat will shrink the heavier-weight cotton and alter the fit. Hang to dry; not tumble. Black fabric discolours in direct sunlight so avoid strong sun.
Ironing directly on the logo is a no-go! If you need to iron the fabric, iron on the reverse side of the logo at a low temperature. Do these steps and the black remains black and the shape remains right. Ignore them and you will be replacing it in no time at all.

Why Our Range Stays Small

You don't have fifty products every season. The Carsicko Clothing product is comprised of a handful of staples that all complement each other and at the centre of the collection are our two black and grey tracksuits.
The concept is straightforward. You should be able to take one piece from us and wear it with all the other things you've already got. You shouldn't have to style the black tracksuit. No huge graphic on the back. Just a nicely made two-piece that looks good and feels right, and that's the whole point.
And that's also why it gets quoted so frequently. If you see it on the site elsewhere then read the label. Be sure you are buying directly from us or one of our approved stockist to ensure you are receiving the genuine 380gsm fabric, cut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Carsicko black tracksuit fit true to size?

Relaxed fit in a relaxed, oversized look. Stick to your usual sizing if you're a fan of classic London streetwear. Size down for a tighter fit. The same size guide is followed by the jacket and joggers; so purchase a set with the same sizes.

Is black better than grey for everyday wear?

Black is better for disguising creases and everyday marks, so its right for if you'll be commuting and wearing it daily. Grey is a little more transparent to the eye, so you get a better sense of the texture and fabric detail. Same fabric at 380gsm, same fit, decide how you'll wear it.

Can I wear the jacket and joggers separately?

Yes, most people. The jacket can be worn over a T-shirt or open on a Carsicko Jacket. The joggers can be worn with a Carsicko Hoodie or a t-shirt. One purchase, many outfits.

How do I stop the black from fading?

Machine wash cold, inside out. Do not bleach or use softener. Tumble dry not recommended. Hang to dry out of direct sunlight. The black colour of cotton lasts the least when washed warm and dried hot.
