Core Practice
Washing, Drying & Ironing Rules
01 // Washing
-
Wash at 30°CLower temperatures save energy and preserve organic fabric strength.
-
Wash Inside OutShields print work, embroidery, and surface texture from friction.
-
Gentle CycleAvoid heavy cycles unless garments are genuinely soiled.
-
Mild DetergentSkip harsh bleaches or heavy chemicals that degrade cotton.
02 // Drying
-
Do Not Tumble DryHigh heat damages weave fibers, causes shrinkage, and wastes energy.
-
Reshape While DampGently pull seams back into place before hanging to lock in the fit.
-
Hang or Lay FlatAir drying keeps garments in shape without heat distortion.
03 // Ironing
-
Iron Inside OutPrevents direct heat contact with outer print and fabric surfaces.
-
Low to Medium HeatUse moderate temperature settings to smooth out creases safely.
-
Avoid Direct Graphic ContactNever run a hot iron directly across screenprints or chest logos.
Mindset & Maintenance
Garment Longevity Is Sustainability
We choose organic cotton and recycled blends to lower resource reliance upfront. How you care for your clothes determines how long they stay in your rotation — making good care the ultimate sustainable act.
-
Skip excess softeners: Fabric softeners coat fibers and diminish natural breathability and performance.
-
Spot clean small marks: Treat isolated spots individually instead of running full machine cycles every time.
-
Wash less frequently: Air out garments between wears to extend fiber life and reduce water consumption.
Full Circle
End of Life & Circularity
When your garment eventually reaches the end of its run, don't throw it out. Any pure cotton Above Average item can be processed through our circular supply chain for recycling and remanufacturing.
