Garment Care

Saintsofsummer pieces are washed, worn, and finished to age. Cared for right, they fade the way they were designed to — slowly, and in your shape.

Heavyweight fleece — Saints Hoodie

  • Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle
  • Wash with similar colors — washed tones can transfer when new
  • No bleach, no fabric softener
  • Hang dry. Never tumble dry — heat shrinks heavyweight French terry and loosens embellishments
  • Do not iron over graphics or rhinestone details

Rhinestone details

  • Always turn the garment inside out before washing
  • Use a mesh wash bag to protect stones from the drum
  • Never tumble dry and never iron directly over stones — adhesive fails with heat
  • Losing an occasional stone through heavy wear is normal for embellished garments

Screen-printed graphics

  • Wash cold, inside out
  • Hang dry away from direct sunlight
  • If ironing is unavoidable, iron inside out on low — never touch the print with the iron

Denim — SOS Denim

  • Wash as rarely as possible — spot clean first, wash when needed
  • Cold water, inside out, gentle cycle, no bleach
  • Hang dry by the waistband
  • Fading, whiskering, and softening are the point. Washed denim develops character with wear — every pair breaks in differently

Faux-fur slides

  • Do not machine wash
  • Spot clean the strap with a damp cloth and mild soap
  • Brush the faux fur gently with a soft brush once dry
  • Air dry away from heat — heat mats and melts faux fur
  • Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth

A note on washed garments

Our garments are garment-dyed and washed before they reach you. Tone varies slightly from piece to piece, and every piece continues to fade with wear and washing. That is not a defect — it is the design.
