To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy its cozy warmth. When washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the graphic and the fabric. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the colors. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. If you need to iron, do it on a low - heat setting. Keep in mind that since it's made to order, it takes 7 - 10 business days to process, so plan your purchase accordingly.
