To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy the cozy warmth. You can wear it on casual days out, at home while relaxing, or for sports activities. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors bright and the patches intact. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric and the chenille patches. After washing, hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. For ironing, use a low - heat setting and iron on the reverse side to protect the patches.
