How to Prevent Your Stussy Hoodie from Shrinking

1. Wash with Cold Water

Always wash your hoodie in cold water instead of hot or warm water. Hot water can cause cotton and other fabrics to shrink. 

2. Use a Gentle Cycle

Set your washing machine to a gentle or delicate cycle to reduce fabric stress and prevent shrinking.

3. Avoid High Heat Drying

Air dry your hoodie by laying it flat on a clean surface or hanging it on a drying rack. If you must use a dryer, select the low heat or tumble dry setting.

4. Turn Inside Out Before Washing

Flipping your hoodie inside out helps protect the fabric and design from wear and tear while reducing shrinkage risk.

5. Use Mild Detergent

Harsh detergents can weaken fabric fibers, leading to shrinkage. Use a gentle, mild detergent designed for delicate clothes.

6. Don’t Overload the Washer

Washing too many clothes at once can cause unnecessary friction and stretching. Wash your hoodie with a small load of similar fabrics.

7. Avoid Overwashing

Frequent washing can break down fibers over time. Try to wash your hoodie only when necessary to maintain its shape and size.

By following these steps, you can keep your Stussy hoodie looking fresh and fitting perfectly for a long time!
