Item care & advice

Simple ways to wash and care for your AJ clothing so it stays in great condition...

Follow these steps to keep your clothing looking new and prevent them from shrinking, fading, or losing their softness.

For clothing in general, the more you wash and throw it into the dryer, the quicker it fades. Frequent washing can also cause fabrics to pill (when the threads break and tangle up into little fuzzy balls) or lose their shape and color.

Before you throw your hoodie into the washer, turn it inside out to protect the outside layer. This helps prevent the color from bleeding and keeps the outer layer from rubbing against other garments in the wash.

Try to keep similar types of fabrics and clothing together when you wash them. For example, separate colors (dark vs. light) and clothing types (underwear vs. outerwear).

Cold water is less likely to shrink or fade and ruin clothes, especially anything made of cotton. Cold water can also reduce wrinkles, which saves both time and the energy costs associated with ironing. Your best bet with hoodies, cardigans or pullovers is washing with cold water on a gentle cycle.

By being mindful of using cold water, using a mild detergent, and air drying, your clothing will stay soft, fade-free, and last you for a long time.

*Do not put caps in the washing machine. Clean with a damp cloth and lint roller.
