Care Guide for the Hoodie

We recommend washing your Hoodie with similar colours on a 30˚C wash on a short cycle. It's enough to properly wash it without damaging the cotton fibres. Turn it inside-out to protect its exterior from any sharp parts of the drum or other clothes in the same wash. If you use a laundry net, even better, that's the gold standard and your Hoodie will thank you for it over the years.

When picking a detergent go for a liquid as powders often leave marks which are especially visible on darker garments. That goes for all your clothes, not just your Hoodie.

Make sure the wash program finishes with a 800rpm spin cycle to get rid of excess water. Don't go any higher, it won't speed anything up and risks damaging the cotton fibres.

When you get your Hoodie out of the machine don't wring it out by hand, however tempting that might be. It'll rip cotton fibres and reduce your Hoodie's life expectancy.

Lay it flat on a surface that won't get damaged by the wet garment. There are many useful devices that costs about a tenner. Highly recommended.

Once it's dry it's good to wear. If you want to iron it go ahead on a low heat avoiding any seams so as not to scorch the material. Remember to take it off from time to time. We know it's comfortable and all but it does need a break to keep it looking its best. And the occasional wash of course.

We'll be back in touch in a couple of weeks to see how you're getting on. If you have any comments in the meantime please do share them however minor - positive or negative - get in touch: help@asphalte-paris.com.
