Wash/Care instructions;
I wash the dyes out with a cold rinse, then a gentle machine wash at 40ºc with a non-bio detergent, before pressing. The reason for the gentle 40 is to protect the Daytripping graphic, but I'd recommend continuing for the life of the garment - a standard 40ºc wash with dark/colours will give the garment the longest/brightest life possible. I've got a version I did as a test two years ago, and it's still looking great, I just drop in with my standard wash and colours still look great.
Airdry is fine. There are far worse things to wreck the planet with than tumble dryers, but they do take some of the life out of cotton clothing.
Don't iron directly onto the logo - avoid this by pressing inside out.
I'm sure these are fine to wear out the packet, but please wash first if you plan to jump into a supercar with pristine white suede interior for a sweaty 8 hr drive, whilst wearing it for the first time......
