Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent — close the secure-zip hand pockets and any hook-and-loop before tossing it in.

Turn the jacket inside-out before washing to protect the woven overlay on the collar, placket, and pocket welts, and to preserve the embroidered logos on the chest and back-right shoulder.

Wash with similar colors. Avoid washing with heavily soiled items or items with hook-and-loop closures, which can snag the 305 g/m² fleece face or the woven overlay.

Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the woven overlay and cause shrinkage at the heavyweight fleece body.

Do not bleach, do not use fabric softener, and do not use dryer sheets — all three can coat the recycled polyester fibers and the woven overlay, reducing the fleece's natural softness and breathability over time.

Do not iron directly on the embroidered logos. If pressing is needed for the woven overlay, use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth between the iron and the woven fabric.

Do not dry clean — solvents can damage the woven overlay, the elastic binding on the collar + front opening + hem, and the embroidered logo thread.

Brush the fleece face gently with a soft-bristle brush periodically to remove surface lint and pet hair, and to restore the fluffy texture.

Check the elastic binding on the collar, front opening, and hem periodically for wear — these are the most common points of failure on a fleece with elastic-bound trim, and a small repair with a needle and thread extends the life of the jacket.

Check the snaps on the front placket for secure attachment — a loose snap can usually be re-set with a snap repair kit, and replacement snaps are widely available.

Store the jacket hanging on a wide hanger or loosely folded in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid hanging on thin wire hangers long-term, which can stretch the shoulder seams out of shape.
