Product Introduction

Product Overview

The Balenciaga Back Medium Fit Hoodie in Faded Black / Blue (Style: 871956TTVJ28014) is a cotton dry-fleece hoodie defined by its faded coloration and embroidered Balenciaga Back artwork. Designed in Balenciaga’s official Medium Fit, the hoodie features dropped shoulders, a drawstring-free hood, kangaroo pocket, and ribbed finishing for a relaxed contemporary silhouette.

Design & Materials

The hoodie is crafted from 100% cotton dry fleece in the official Faded Black / Blue colorway. The intentionally faded appearance gives the cotton fleece a worn-in visual character, while the embroidered artwork is constructed from 100% polyester thread.

Designed in a Medium Fit with dropped shoulders, the hoodie features a hood without drawstrings, one kangaroo pocket at the front, and ribbed finishing at the cuffs and waistline. Balenciaga Back artwork is embroidered across both the front and back, creating the primary signature detailing of the design. The garment is made in Portugal.

Size Recommendation

Balenciaga officially describes the Balenciaga Back Hoodie as a Medium Fit. Choosing your usual Balenciaga hoodie size is recommended as the safest starting point for maintaining the intended proportions of the garment.

• Choose your usual Balenciaga size to maintain the intended Medium Fit.
• Expect relaxed shoulder proportions due to the intentionally dropped shoulder construction.
• Consider your chest, shoulder, body length, and sleeve measurements when deciding between two sizes.
• Compare the garment measurements with a medium-fit hoodie you already own for an additional size reference.

Balenciaga does not provide a specific size-up or size-down instruction for style 871956TTVJ28014. As official model height and worn-size information is not provided on the current product page, physical garment measurements should be used as an additional sizing reference when available.
