- Use individual care instructions when laundering your item.
- Wash garments as infrequently as possible and wash in cold water. Air out garments to freshen them.
- Steam garments in the bathroom whilst you shower, this can help to straighten out wrinkles and remove odours.
- Avoid using the dryer. Dryers will damage clothing overtime and can decrease elasticity. Line dry upside down or flat drying on a clothes rack in the shade is the best option.
- Delicate garments that can be machine washed must be put in a laundry bag. This will prevent pilling from clothing friction. Wash similar colors all together. Never mix multi colored items with whites. Turning clothes inside out (particularly denim) prevents fading.
- Fold clothes along the seams to prevent unwanted creasing and maintain the shape of your clothing.
- Beware of handbags, jewellery or heavy layering. This can damage your clothing.
- Never pull your clothing up by belt loops or shoulder straps – this can damage the strap.
- Do not layer delicate fabrics under heavy jackets - this may cause friction and damage the fibres of the fabric.
- Never wring out delicate items – this will break the fabric fibres.
- Invest in good quality hangers to protect the shoulders in your clothing.
- Use careful garment ironing instructions and use a press cloth when ironing to protect the fabric.

CARING FOR YOUR GARMENT
ironing
Ensure your iron is on the correct temperature. We recommend using a press clothing, especially for delicates. To protect your garment, it is helpful to iron inside out.
Never iron directly on the design on the printed Oversized Tees.
washing
All delicate items should be washed seperately in a laundry or protective wash bag. Do not soak items when hand washing. Always wash whites and coloured seperately.
Never overfill a washing machine. Clothing friction can cause pilling.
Avoid bleaching your clothing and use eco-friendly laundry detergents.
storing
Use quality hangers to avoid damaging your items. If a garment is heavy we recommend folding this item rather than hanging.
alterations
A reputable altertions person is an amazing resource for garment repair and alterations.
dry cleaning
We suggest all dry cleaners read the care labels carefully prior to washing.
drying
We recommend drying all items flat in the shade. Hang your clothes inside out when exposed to direct sunlight to prevent fading.
We do not recommend using a tumble dryer. Overuse of tumble drying risks shrinkage and pilling.
PILLING
Pilling can occur when fibres are weakened from abrasrive friction. Friction can occur from heavy jackets, outerwear, handbags, jewellery, rough surfaces and incorrect washing or drying.
Pilling is not a sign of a faulty product, it is as a result of damage to the garment.
