To use this sweatshirt, just slip it on like any regular sweatshirt and enjoy the warmth and style. When it comes to washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors and the fabric in good condition. Don't use bleach as it might damage the design. For drying, it's best to tumble dry on low heat or let it air dry. Also, remember that since it's made to order, it takes 7 - 10 business days to be processed, so plan your purchase accordingly.
