To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on like any other top. It's great for casual outings or relaxing at home. When it comes to maintenance, machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Use a gentle cycle to keep the design and fabric in good shape. Tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage. As it's made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business day processing time. Also, keep in mind that the faux embroidery design is a heat transfer, so avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage it.
