Keep care simple. For our current black Gildan 18500 hoodies, start with the garment label rather than advice for a different hoodie or printing method.
Your care checklist
Printify lists these care instructions for the Gildan 18500:
- Machine wash cold, no warmer than 30°C.
- If bleach is needed, use non-chlorine bleach.
- Tumble dry on medium heat.
- Iron on low heat.
- Do not dry-clean.
Check the label on the hoodie you receive
Before washing, drying or ironing, check the care label on your own garment. These instructions are not a promise that a print cannot fade or wear. Do not treat this guide as care advice for every garment or printing method.
Choosing your hoodie?
Read our hoodie measurement guide, then compare the measurements with a hoodie you already own. You can also view NOCTURNAL ROMANCE and open its product-specific size guide before selecting a size.
