For most products, we recommend using the washing and care instructions listed on each individual garment's label, however there are things to keep in mind for items that have been embroidered, heat transferred, or silk screened.
Following proper care, our embroidery should outlast the garment and the thread color should not fade or bleed. All printing will fade and possibly crack over time, however, following proper care it too should last for as long as the garment.
