To use this sweatshirt, just put it on like any other. It's great for casual outings, lounging at home, or as a layer under a jacket. Since it's made to order, be patient during the 7 - 10 business - day processing time. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors bright and the fabric in good shape. Avoid using bleach. For drying, tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage. And don't iron directly on the design to protect the soft - feel heat transfer.
