To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on like you would any other top and enjoy the cozy warmth. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water. This helps to keep the graphic design looking great. Don't use bleach as it can damage the fabric and the design. After washing, it's best to tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage. Since it's a custom - made item, be patient during the 7 - 10 business day processing time. Also, avoid pulling or tugging too hard on the fabric, especially around the seams and ribbed areas, to keep it in good shape.
