How do I take care of/wash my new sweatshirt?

Firstly, gentle washing with mild detergent and cold water helps preserve the integrity of the embroidered design. Turning the sweatshirt inside out before washing can further protect the embroidery from rubbing against other fabrics. Additionally, air drying or using the lowest heat setting on a dryer prevents excessive shrinkage or damage to the fabric and embroidery. Avoiding ironing directly on the embroidered area and storing the sweatshirt flat or hanging it to prevent stretching are also effective methods for maintaining the embroidered details. By following these simple steps, one can ensure that an embroidered sweatshirt remains vibrant and intact for a longer period.

Does embroidery last longer than vinyl?

Generally, embroidery tends to be more durable and long-lasting compared to vinyl. Embroidery involves stitching the design directly into the fabric, making it more resistant to wear, washing, and general use. It is less prone to peeling, fading, or cracking, which can occur with vinyl designs over time, especially with repeated washing or exposure to heat.
