To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy the cozy warmth. It's great for casual outings or relaxing at home. When it comes to washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors vibrant and the fabric in good shape. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the print. Hang it to dry instead of using a dryer to prevent shrinking. Also, since it's made to order, be patient during the 7 - 10 business day processing time.
