How to Care for Heavyweight Streetwear So It Lasts for Years

Buy it once, keep it for years

Heavyweight cotton and fleece are built to last — but only if you treat them right. Follow these and your fits stay crisp.

1. Wash cold, inside out

Cold water protects prints and stops fading. Turning garments inside out shields the logo and the face of the fabric from abrasion.

2. Skip the dryer when you can

Tumble dry low or hang dry. High heat is the number-one cause of shrinkage and cracked prints.

3. Wash less, not more

Hoodies and heavyweight tees don't need washing after every wear. Air them out — fewer cycles means a longer life.

4. Don't iron the print

Iron inside out or avoid the graphic entirely. Direct heat melts and dulls prints.

5. Store folded, not hung

Heavy knits stretch on hangers over time. Fold hoodies and heavy tees to keep their shape.

Treat your Money Moves pieces right and they'll move with you for years.
