Hoodie Care 101: How to Maintain the Perfect Fit & Look
Share
Investing in a high-quality hoodie means nothing if you don’t take proper care of it. Whether it’s our 3:3 Essentials Hoodie or another favorite piece, the right care regimen can keep your hoodie looking brand-new for years. Read on for easy tips on washing, drying, and storing your hoodie so you can maintain that perfect fit and style.
1. Check the Label First
Always start by looking at the care label. Our hoodies might say "hand wash" but that's just use wanting you to be extra safe. You can still machine wash our 3:3 essentials hoodies! Most hoodies recommend a gentle, cold-water wash cycle. Because our 3:3 Essentials Hoodies use premium cotton blends, cold water helps maintain color vibrancy and fabric integrity.
2. Turn Your Hoodie Inside Out
Before tossing it in the wash, flip it inside out. This simple trick reduces friction on the outer surface, helping prevent pilling, fading, or logo peeling.
3. Use Mild Detergent & Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Stay away from bleach and heavy-duty detergents. A mild detergent is best if you want to keep your hoodie soft and comfortable. If you need extra stain-fighting power, try spot treatments or natural stain removers.
4. Air Dry or Low Heat Tumble
High heat can shrink and warp your hoodie’s shape. For best results, hang it up to air dry. If you must use a dryer, tumble on low heat and remove promptly to prevent wrinkles or shrinkage.
5. Store It Properly
Fold your hoodie and place it in a drawer or on a shelf. If hanging, use a padded hanger to support the shoulders and avoid stretching.
