To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on like you would any other top. It's great for casual outings during the Christmas season or just lounging at home. When it comes to maintenance, machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Tumble dry on low to keep it in good shape. Since it's made to order, give it the 7 - 10 business days processing time before expecting to wear it. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as it might damage the graphic and the fabric.
