How to care for and store your sweatshirt and hoodie

Store your sweatshirt

- Fold or hang your sweatshirt and store it in the wardrobe.

Wash and care

- Always read the care label before washing. Reminder: Only wash when necessary and at low temperatures to care for the environment and avoid wear and tear.

- Wash your sweatshirt with similar materials and colours.

- Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.

- Use an environmentally friendly detergent and avoid fabric softener.

- Hang dry and avoid using a tumble dryer.

Stain removal

- If your sweatshirt has stains, treat the specific area using a cloth, detergent and water.

- Dab the stain gently with the cloth and leave it on for a few minutes.

- Avoid rubbing, especially on delicate fabrics. If necessary, wash your sweatshirt, following the steps above.


Think sustainably

Repair your garment instead of buying a new one.

- If your sweatshirt has holes, try to repair them instead of buying a new one. This will extend the life of the garment and reduce your carbon footprint.


For larger holes: Patch the garment to cover the hole.
For small holes: Sew up the holes with a needle and thread.

Take your sweatshirt to a tailor

- Sometimes it may be best to go to a tailor to repair more complex damage or to ensure that the repair is done properly to preserve quality.

Pass the sweatshirt on

- If you are fed up with your garment - let someone else enjoy it and recycle your sweatshirt through our Pre-Owned department.

Now you can enjoy your sweatshirt for years to come!

The selection process was very easy, and navigating the online shop was as well. The product presentation and the purchasing process itself were both very simple and pleasant.

I wanted to buy a steamer from the company Steamery for travel in Europe, but the models available in the US won't work in the EU, not even with an adapter. So I had to figure out a way to get the EU compatible sent to me in the United States before my trip. I used an AI app called Claude, which helped me identify care of Carl as a potential source, and my delivery came within a matter of days. I am very pleased with my shopping experience.

Got a size 39 Contemporary fit as I’m somewhere between slim fit and contemporary. It’s quite roomy though, so I got it tailored a bit (also the sleeves). But I love the material!

Delighted with my jacket that I bought from Care of Carl. If was clearly packaged with great care and this was appreciated. It does make a difference and shows that the store also respects quality clothes and their customers too, which is a lovely personal touch. Thank you Care of Carl. James.
