To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy its warmth and style. When washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the design. Hang it to dry to avoid shrinking. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the fabric. Also, since it's made to order, be patient during the processing time of 7 - 10 business days. If there are any loose threads, you can carefully snip them off.
