To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on like any other top. It's great for casual outings, lounging at home, or as a layer during colder days. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the graphic and fabric quality. Avoid using bleach. After washing, tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage. Store it in a cool, dry place. Keep in mind that since it's made to order, it takes 7 - 10 business days to process, so plan your purchase accordingly.
