Hoodie Care

Our hoodies are crafted from high-saturation, 500 GSM premium cotton. To maintain the vibrant color and the substantial handfeel of your garment, we have intentionally avoided harsh chemical pre-washes.

To ensure your piece lasts a lifetime, please follow these instructions:

The First Wash

  • Wash Separately: Due to the high-saturation dyes, some color release may occur during the first cycle. Always wash your hoodie alone or with like-colors to prevent transfer.

  • Cold Water Only: Use cold water to preserve the fabric structure and color vibrancy.

Washing Protocol

  • Detergent Choice: Use high-quality neutral or color-protecting detergents. Avoid low-quality acidic detergents or highly alkaline soaps (traditional bar soaps), as these can damage the fibers.

  • Cycle Choice: Use a gentle cycle. Avoid long, aggressive washing cycles that can stress the heavyweight cotton.

  • Temperature Warning: Never wash above 60°C. High temperatures can cause unpredictable shrinkage and permanent fabric damage.

The 'Shepherd Hoodie'

The orange hoodie features a specialized faux wool back panel.

  • Extra Caution: To prevent the vibrant orange dye from transferring to the wool embroidery, strictly adhere to cold-water, gentle washing conditions. Our tests show zero bleeding under normal, correct care.

Understanding Shrinkage

  • Natural Calibration: Expect a minor shrinkage of 5%–8% after the first cold wash. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality, untreated cotton. Once this initial calibration occurs, the fit will remain stable.
