^^^ hand wash, (inside out), be very delicate. Lay on a towel to dry (right side out).

If you hang dry it on a hanger, the neck will strech.

Once the tee is dry, it will be rinkled, theres nothing you can do about that.

So put it in the dryer for 3 min, (inside out). That will get rid of the rinkles.

ok, i know im not supposed to post in here, but i washed a baby milo blue tee, by hand with nothing but cold water and detergent.
after i was done, i rinsed it a few times in clean cold water and the water turned blue. the shirt was fine, but i was a little concerned about the blue. but otherwise, it came out fine.

today i washed my tiger hoodie, by hand same method.
it will take a few days to completely dry, so i'll post results here.
by far, the best method i've had was when my japanese girlfriend washed it after i bought it.
she had it on a cold water wash (jap washing machines only have cold water)
she turned it inside out, and put it in a LINT BAG. the bag protects it from getting lint, so i suggest you buy one if you're worried or lazy to pluck the lint. she put softener which i highly recommend to get that just-purchased feeling.

as for hanging, i find unless you have a coat hanger that completely fits the shirt from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, best avoid them.
NEVER USE PEGS!!! as someone said, hangers stretch the neck and same happened to my milo shirt.
if you have a clothes rack, the wire type, use that and lay the shirt / hoodie flat over it. that will allow air flow above and under the garment as well as dry it.
also, when you hang it you might want to take the time to remove any wrinkles or creases, because when it dries those will be left in.
i strung my tiger hoodie up across 4 clothes lines so its relatively flat.
as for the hood piece, its the longest to dry and the hardest. so i turned it inside out with the sag at the bottom and the face on the top. this allows the felt face to dry in the sunlight and the inside out hood part to drip dry as well as sundry.

does anyone know if leaving it in direct sunlight will cause any damage?
its a beautiful day with no clouds and im worried about any damage from the sun.
