Like most dark cotton garments, fading can occur over time with repeated washing. To minimize fading, wash in cold water, use a mild, color-safe detergent, and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Washing inside out also helps protect the color.

Cotton can shrink if exposed to high heat. Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. If already shrunk, gentle stretching while damp may help slightly.

Fading can occur from repeated washing or exposure to harsh detergents. Wash inside out with cold water and use a color-safe, mild detergent. Avoid direct prolonged sunlight when drying.

This can happen with excessive stretching or improper drying. Gently reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid pulling on the collar/cuffs when putting on or taking off.

Avoid ironing directly over the embroidery. If threads are loose, trim them carefully; do not pull. Hand washing or a delicate cycle can help protect the stitching from wear and tear.
