How to Clean and Care for Your HEST Hoodie

Quick answer

Wash your HEST hoodie inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat to preserve the fabric and print.

Step-by-step care instructions

1. 1. Prepare the hoodie: Turn your HEST hoodie inside out. Close any zippers or buttons to prevent snagging. Check pockets for debris. Skipping this step can cause the print to fade or fabric to pill.
2. 2. Choose the right wash cycle: Use cold water and a gentle cycle. Select a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener, which can break down fleece fibers. Hot water can shrink the hoodie and damage the weighted feel.
3. 3. Dry with care: Lay the hoodie flat on a clean towel to air dry. Reshape it while damp. Avoid the dryer and direct sunlight. Tumble drying on high heat may cause shrinkage and distort the hoodie's shape.
4. 4. Store properly: Fold the hoodie and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it by the hood, which can stretch the fabric over time. Storing in a tightly packed drawer can flatten the fleece; give it room to breathe.
