Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a graphic-heavy garment, proper maintenance is vital to preserving the print. Always turn the shirt inside out before machine washing to protect the Bape Face Sta graphic from abrasion against the machine drum. Use a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent to prevent color fading and potential shrinking of the cotton fabric. Avoid using bleach, which can damage both the fabric and the graphic ink. When drying, it is highly recommended to hang-dry or lay the shirt flat, as high heat from a tumble dryer can cause the graphic to crack or peel over time.
