To use this sweatshirt, just put it on and enjoy the warmth and comfort. When washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the embroidery. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric and design. Tumble dry on low to keep the shape. Iron on a low - heat setting if needed, but make sure to put a cloth between the iron and the embroidery. This sweatshirt is durable, but try not to tug too hard on the embroidered parts to keep the design looking great for a long time.
