This sweatshirt is really easy to use. Just slip it on and you're ready to go out and enjoy the day while staying warm. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the graphic design. Don't use bleach as it may damage the colors. Hang it to dry or use a low - heat setting in the dryer. Keep in mind that since it's made to order, it takes 7 - 10 business days to process, so plan your purchase accordingly. Avoid rough surfaces that may snag the fabric, especially around the ribbed areas. With proper care, this sweatshirt will stay in great condition for a long time.
