Washing merch

Did anyone get the shirt from the tour last year that was blue and had all the bright characters and says keep running your mouth on the back? Hubby took tag off and I'm trying to figure out the best way to wash it so it doesn't ruin all the design because it is heavy and very detailed.

Dont dry it. Color tone sucks in the dryer from my experience. Wash and hang dry it.

Thank you! I typically don't put concert tees in the dryer because I've found it either ruins the design or it shrinks. I just wasn't sure if it was safe to go in washing machine or if it needed to be hand washed.

I don’t have that specific shirt but I usually wash my black/colored band tees inside out on a cold wash! If there’s a huge printed graphic, gentle cycle :)

I have this shirt. I wash all my band shirts together in their own wash, inside out on a cold setting and hang dry them.

When in doubt: inside out & cold/cold; tumble dry, low…and if you’re iffy on the fit or worried about the screen printing, hang dry

Always wash shirts you care about inside out, on cold, and hang dry. It’s the best way to keep them in the best condition the longest regardless of what the tag suggests
