Care guide

Keep your zazu piece looking sharp.

Every zazu garment is made to order, so care matters. Use these tips to protect the fabric, shape and printed artwork for as long as possible.

Print care

Protect the artwork first.

  • Wash inside out on a cool, gentle cycle.
  • Do not bleach, tumble dry hot, dry clean or use harsh stain removers on the print.
  • Never iron directly over the artwork. Iron inside out on low heat if needed.
  • Air dry where possible to protect the garment shape and print finish.

T-shirts

100% cotton T-shirts are easiest to maintain when washed gently and dried naturally.

  • Turn inside out before washing to reduce friction on the print.
  • Wash cold with similar colours.
  • Reshape while damp and air dry flat or on a hanger.

Dry-Fit T-shirts

Performance-feel garments benefit from gentle washing and no fabric softener.

  • Avoid fabric softener because it can affect the smooth active feel.
  • Wash cold after active use instead of leaving it damp in a bag.
  • Air dry quickly; avoid high heat.

Sweaters

Mid-layers keep their shape best when washed inside out and dried with care.

  • Wash inside out on a gentle cycle.
  • Do not overload the machine; bulky garments need room.
  • Air dry flat where possible to protect shape.

Hoodies

Hoodies need a little more care because of the hood, cuffs and larger printed areas.

  • Secure cords where possible before washing.
  • Wash inside out on cold to protect large prints.
  • Air dry and avoid direct high heat on cuffs or artwork.

Zipped hoodies

Zipped hoodies should be washed closed to protect the zip, shape and print.

  • Close the zip before washing.
  • Wash inside out with similar colours.
  • Hang dry open once most moisture has gone so it keeps its shape.
