Product Care Instructions

Longevity starts with proper care! Here at Brotherly Sole, we want you to rock your threads for years to come. So, follow these simple wash and care instructions to keep your kicks, tees, hoodies, and sweatpants lookin' fly, wash after wash.

T-Shirt:

  • Turn it inside out: Before hitting the wash, flip your tee inside out. This protects the design from abrasion and fading.
  • Cool cycle, happy threads: Wash on a cold cycle (30°C or below) with a mild detergent. Hot water can damage the fabric and prints.
  • Skip the harsh stuff: Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or fabric softeners. They can break down the fibers and dull the colors.
  • Tumble dry on low (or hang dry for best results): Minimize high heat drying. It can shrink your tee and compromise the print quality. Hang drying is always the safest bet!
  • Iron on low (avoid the print): If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid ironing directly on the printed design.

Smilace Socks: 

  • Warm water wash: Opt for a warm water cycle (around 40°C) for effective cleaning without damaging the fabric blend (cotton, nylon, spandex).
  • Inside out love: Turn your socks inside out before washing. This protects the outer surface and maintains the quality of the knitted logos.
  • Color coordination is key: Wash with similar colors to prevent dye bleeding, especially for darker socks.
  • Mild detergent matters: Use a gentle detergent specifically formulated for delicates. Harsh chemicals like bleach or fabric softener are a no-go.
  • Tumble dry low, or skip it altogether: Opt for a low heat setting on your dryer or skip the dryer completely. Air drying is the best way to preserve the shape and elasticity of your socks. Hang them by the toes or cuff, depending on your drying rack.
  • Extra dirty socks? Heavily soiled socks deserve special attention. Wash them separately or pre-treat them with a stain remover before adding them to the load.
  • Ditch the softener: Fabric softeners can reduce the elasticity of your socks. Skip it to keep them feeling snug and supportive.
  • Mesh laundry bag (optional): Consider using a mesh laundry bag to protect your socks from snags or getting lost in the wash.

Hoodie & Sweats:

  • Turn it inside out: Just like your tees, flip your hoodie or sweatpants inside out before washing.
  • Cool cycle crew: Wash on a cold cycle (30°C or below) with a mild detergent. Hot water can shrink your comfy threads.
  • Skip the harsh chemicals: Avoid bleach or fabric softeners. They can damage the fabric and fade the colors.
  • Minimize tumble drying: High heat drying is a recipe for shrinkage. Opt for a low heat setting or skip the dryer altogether.
  • Air dry whenever possible: Hang drying is the best way to maintain the shape and comfort of your hoodies and sweatpants.
  • Iron on low (avoid the print): If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid ironing directly on any printed designs.

Bonus Tip: Separate heavily soiled items from your lighter colored clothes for the first few washes, especially with dark-colored hoodies and sweatpants.
