Care Instructions
By choosing one of our exclusive items, you’re not just getting a piece of apparel; you’re investing in a slice of the culture we all love. Like any cherished item, your printed garments require a bit of extra care to continue bringing the heat at all times.
Please follow all guidelines carefully.
How to care for your items:
- Cold Machine-Wash: Always wash your tees on a delicate setting with cold water to preserve the fabric's integrity and the print’s vibrancy.
- Wash Inside-Out: Protect the print from abrasions and direct exposure to detergents by turning your garments inside out.
- Wash With Similar Colours: Prevent colour bleeding and keep your vibrant prints sharp by washing your tees with similar shades.
- Hang to Air-Dry: Avoid direct sunlight when drying your tees. Sun can fade the print over time, and air drying helps maintain the fabric's softness and print quality.
What not to do:
- Iron Over the Print: If ironing is necessary, do it on the reverse side to avoid damaging the print.
- Tumble-Dry: High heat can shrink the fabric and fade the print. Opt for air-drying instead.
- Dry-Clean: The chemicals used in dry cleaning can harm your printed tees, affecting both the fabric and the print.
- Use Harsh Chemicals: Avoid bleach and fabric softeners; these can degrade the print. Stick to gentle detergents.
Why Care Matters
Fabric ages naturally, but improper care can accelerate this process. Exposure to harsh conditions like sun, heat, and chemicals, as well as physical wear, can significantly shorten the lifespan of your garment.
By adhering to these care instructions, you ensure that your Shonen Society items not only retains its look and feel but also remains a key piece in your wardrobe for years to come, continuing to represent the culture and stories that connect us all.
