How to Wash Ripndip Hoodies and Graphic Tees Without Ruining Them: Complete Care Guide
Streetwear garment care begins long before clothes hit the drum. Skipping simple prep steps exposes exposed artwork to severe abrasive forces during the washing machine's agitation cycles.

Second, separate your laundry by weight and hardware. Never wash lightweight graphic tees in the same load as heavy denim, workwear jackets, or items featuring open metal zippers.

Wash RIPNDIP pieces strictly with similar soft knits.
