Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best look, position the hood so the cowl drapes evenly across your shoulders. If wearing a helmet over the hood, tuck the excess fabric inside the gorget or tunic to maintain a clean silhouette.
Care instructions include:
- Hand wash only: Use mild soap and cool water to preserve the chainmail print.
- Avoid heat: Do not iron or place near open flames or heat sources, as the polyester material is sensitive to heat.
- Air dry: Hang the hood in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Storage: Fold gently to avoid creasing the fabric or damaging the visual fidelity of the print.
