How do you suggest washing Bape, BBC, and Ice Cream clothes. I think I can machine wash the tee-shirts, but what about the hoodies?
On the kidrobot site, it says to wash their hoodies by hand, inside-out. They say dry cleaning leads to fading and shrinking. Is that true for other hoodies as well?

thats what i do ^^^ and with the wash machine theres special soap that helps color not fade

I heard from someone that I should wash it inside out in cold water (but wouldn't the water still touch the front?).
And I think I should hang dry them.

Salzar...you said you THINK you can machine wash....i THINK it is a bad idea to not be sure about washing a $100 one of a kind tee. W/ tees, cough up the $ and dry clean...OR, hand wash, OR, machine wash cold inside out. Hoodies def fade, jsut like any other cotton based item. Good luck

That's what I meant, I thought I could wash it inside-out on cold.
So you're saying hoodies fade, no matter what? Even if I dry clean them?
And if I dry clean anything nice, there is a chance it will fall apart. I know from experience some nicer things, tuxedos, etc. have been damaged at the dry cleaners.
I live near NYC.

If you live near NYC, then I think you should ask the employess at BWS. When I bought my hoodie from them, I asked about washing and they said to either handwash, dry clean, or do a cold wash in the washing machine and then hang dry. I threw it in the washer by itself with minimal soap and hang dried it and it didn't fade or anything.

What about Ice Cream hoodies? Same thing?

IC Hooies Are The Same,Best Thing To Do Is Spot Clean W/ Cold Water And Woolite.Woolite Is The Priciest Detergent,But The Best.It WIll Not Fade,Who Cares About Tees,Machine Wash W/ Cold Water N Woolite Inside Out Does The Trick.I Hangdry All My Stuff.
