Care Guide

Care Instructions

• Wash: Turn the hoodie inside out and machine wash in warm water (max 40C or 105F) to protect the fleece and print integrity.

• Bleach: Use non-chlorine bleach as needed. Avoid harsh chemical stripping to preserve garment color vibrancy.

• Dry: Tumble dry on medium heat. Alternatively, hang dry to maximize the lifespan of the fabric and print.

• Iron & Dry Clean: Do not dry clean. Do not iron directly over printed graphics or embroidery to prevent thermal damage.

Following these recommended care practices helps maintain the ultra-soft feel of the preshrunk fleece and ensures long-lasting durability for your custom streetwear pieces in LA and NYC.
