To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on like you would any other top. It's great for casual outings, lounging at home, or even as a layer under a jacket. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water. This helps protect the chenille patch and the fabric. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the colors. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. If it gets wrinkled, you can use a low - heat iron on the reverse side. With proper care, this sweatshirt will keep you cozy for a long time.
