Quick answer
Hand wash your Godzilla knit cardigan in cold water, lay it flat to dry, and store it folded to protect the dorsal fin design and fabric blend.
Why special care matters for this cardigan
The Godzilla x Steady Hands Godzilla Dorsal Fin Knit Cardigan uses a blend of viscose, cotton, polyester, and nylon. Each fiber reacts differently to heat and agitation, so machine washing or tumble drying can cause shrinking, pilling, or distortion of the dorsal fin panel. The unisex knit construction is also more delicate than a standard cotton hoodie, so gentle handling preserves the scale pattern and pocket detailing.
How to wash and store your Godzilla knit cardigan
- Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the cardigan and gently agitate it with your hands. Avoid wringing or twisting, which can stretch the knit or distort the dorsal fin design. Hot water can shrink the viscose and nylon blend. Always use cold.
- Rinse and remove excess water: Drain the soapy water and refill with cold water. Rinse until no suds remain. Press the cardigan against the side of the basin to remove excess water, then roll it in a clean, dry towel to absorb more moisture. Never wring or twist. The knit and dorsal fin panel can lose shape permanently.
- Lay flat to dry: Place the cardigan on a mesh drying rack or a clean towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Do not hang it, as the weight of wet fabric can stretch the shoulders and neckline. Hanging a wet knit cardigan can cause it to stretch out of shape. Always lay flat.
- Store folded, not hung: Once fully dry, fold the cardigan and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. If you must hang it, use a padded hanger with wide arms to minimize stress on the shoulders. Keep it away from moths by using cedar blocks or lavender sachets. Folded storage prevents shoulder bumps and keeps the dorsal fin design flat.
