The safest approach is gentle, inside-out washing with cool water, minimal agitation, and low heat (or no heat) drying. Embossed logos can flatten or lose definition from friction, hot water, harsh detergents, and high dryer temperatures, so treat the hoodie like a structured cotton piece rather than everyday fleece.
1) Turn it inside out and zip/tie it. Turning the hoodie inside out reduces abrasion on the embossed area. Tie drawstrings and close any hardware to prevent rubbing.
2) Use a gentle detergent—skip boosters. Choose a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, stain removers with solvents, and fabric softener, which can affect the finish and make the logo area look uneven.
3) Wash cold on delicate. Select cold water and a delicate cycle. Keep the load small and wash with other soft items (no towels, denim, or items with zippers) to prevent scuffing the embossing.
4) Spot-clean first when possible. For small marks, blot with cool water and a tiny amount of gentle detergent instead of washing the whole hoodie. Rubbing hard directly over the logo is what typically causes flattening.
1) Air-dry flat is best. Reshape the hoodie and lay it flat on a clean towel or drying rack, keeping the embossed section smooth and undisturbed.
2) If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat. Tumble dry on low or “air” for a short time, then remove while slightly damp and finish flat-drying. High heat can soften and compress the embossed texture.
3) Avoid direct ironing on the logo. If wrinkles bother you, steam lightly from the inside or use a pressing cloth and keep the iron away from the embossed area.

Avoid ironing directly on the embossed logo because heat and pressure can flatten the texture. If needed, steam from the inside or press around the logo area using a cloth and low heat.
