Caring for Heavyweight Cotton Streetwear
Do
- Wash cold, inside out
- Air dry when you can
Don't
- Use high heat in the dryer — it's the #1 cause of shrinkage
- Overload the wash with rough fabrics (denim, zippers) that cause pilling
Bottom line: cold wash, inside out, air dry. Do this and a heavyweight tee easily outlasts a season.
