Care Guide
Made to last.
A little care keeps your Sweat Set soft, true to size, and looking the way it did on day one.
Wash less
Only when it needs it.
Cold, inside out
Gentle cycle, like colors.
Air dry
Hang or lay flat, out of the sun.
Keep it simple
No bleach. No softener.
Step one
Wash less
Cotton breathes, so it doesn't hold odor the way synthetics do. Most wears don't call for a wash. Air your set out between wears and spot clean small marks with cold water and a little mild soap. Fewer washes mean less wear on the fabric, and less water and energy used.
Step two
How to wash
- Cold water only. Heat is what shrinks and fades cotton.
- Turn it inside out. This protects the outer surface and the color.
- Gentle cycle, like colors. Keep it away from zippers, hooks, and anything rough.
- Mild detergent, and not too much. Extra soap leaves residue that stiffens the fabric.
- No bleach. It weakens cotton fibers and strips color.
- No fabric softener or dryer sheets. They coat the fibers and reduce softness and breathability over time. Cotton softens naturally with wear.
Step three
How to dry
- Hang dry or lay flat. Keep it out of direct sunlight.
- Reshape while damp. Gently smooth the cuffs, hem, and waistband back into place.
- Use a rack, not a hanger. Heavier pieces dry best flat or over a rack, so the shoulders don't stretch.
About the dryer
Avoid it. If you have to use one, choose the lowest heat and remove the set while slightly damp. Some shrinkage may occur.
The details
Keeping it right
Wrinkles
Steam is best. If you iron, use low to medium heat with the garment inside out.
Storage
Fold it rather than hanging it. Hangers can stretch the shoulders and neckline. Store it clean and fully dry.
Pilling
Light pilling is natural with cotton and isn't a defect. A fabric shaver or sweater comb makes it look new again.
