Merch Question

Hi Tracy!

I got a Synchestra Hoodie for Christmas, and I was wondering if there are any special washing instructions for the hoodie....

I bought an Accelerated Evolution shirt off the site and it didn't hold up too well in the wash...the front has faded a lot and the back print is almost gone.

I just hope that doesn't happen to this hoodie since it looks so good

so yeah, any suggestions?

I am sure that Tracy will be able to give more specific instructions, but I can give you a few general hints:

If the shirt has a print on it, then be sure to always wash it inside out. This prevents it getting knocked about so much in the wash.

Also, try to wash it at a lower temperature. I have seen clothes with prints on them come out of the washing machine actually sticky because it has been so hot it melted the print. Likewise, using a more gentle washing power/liquid and less of it will be sensible.

If you are really worried you can also hand wash things...though you probably dont need to.

I think Blazingmonga is probably correct. I have never been given any specific instructions from the printers. Sorry.
