Quick Answer
Clean your Tech Woven Overshirt with a gentle machine wash on cold and air dry to maintain its stretch, shape, and light water resistance.
Why Gentle Care Matters
The Tech Woven Overshirt uses a 4-way stretch fabric that offers unrestricted movement and light water resistance. Harsh washing can degrade the stretch fibers and the water-repellent finish. Using cold water and mild detergent helps preserve both the fit and the functional coating.
Step-by-Step Care Guide
- Prepare the Overshirt: Empty all pockets and close the zip pockets. Turn the overshirt inside out to protect the outer surface and reduce friction on the fabric. Forgetting to zip pockets can cause snags on the fabric during the wash cycle.
- Choose Your Wash Settings: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle (max 30°C / 86°F). Use a mild liquid detergent—avoid bleach, fabric softener, and stain removers that can damage the stretch fibers and water-resistant finish. Hot water or harsh detergents can permanently break down the 4-way stretch and reduce water repellency.
- Dry Correctly: Lay the overshirt flat on a clean towel or drying rack, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not tumble dry, wring, or iron, as these can distort the fabric and ruin the fit. Heat from dryers or irons can melt or shrink the synthetic stretch fabric, altering the regular fit.
- Store Properly: Hang the overshirt on a padded hanger or fold it loosely in a drawer. Avoid overcrowding in the closet to maintain the shirt's shape and prevent creasing. Storing on a wire hanger can stretch the shoulders over time.
