You snagged some Juan Guarnizo merch - maybe the Premium Hoodie or a Classic T-Shirt - and now you want it to last. Good news: with a little know-how, that hoodie will stay as fresh as the day you unboxed it. Here's what you need to know about caring for your gear, from washing to storing.
What Makes These Pieces Different?
The Juan Guarnizo Premium Hoodie isn't your average hoodie. It's a heavyweight pullover built from 320gsm fleece with a brushed interior - the kind of material that feels amazing but needs a gentle touch. The graphics aren't printed on cheap plastisol; they're designed to last through countless wears, but only if you treat them right. Same goes for the Classic T-Shirt, the Polo Shirt, and the Tank Top: each piece is crafted with fan-merch in mind, meaning the prints and fabrics work together to survive your daily life - as long as you follow a few rules.
Design Story
Juan's merch isn't just about logos - it's about community. The graphics on the Premium Hoodie reflect inside jokes from streams and the energy of his fanbase. That's why you want to keep them vibrant. Caring for the prints means washing your hoodie and tees inside out. This protects the design from friction against other clothes. Also, zip up any zippers (if your hoodie has them) before tossing in the washer. Cold water is your friend: hot water can fade colors and weaken the adhesive on heat-pressed graphics. If you're using a front-loader, great - top-loaders with an agitator can be rough, so use a delicates bag if you can.
Materials and Quality
Let's talk fabric. The Premium Hoodie is 80% cotton and 20% polyester. That cotton gives it breathability and that soft hand feel, but cotton shrinks. The polyester helps it hold shape, but high heat is still a no-go. The 320gsm fleece is thick - we're talking heavy-duty warmth - so it takes longer to dry. Always tumble dry on low heat or, better yet, lay it flat to air dry. Your Classic T-Shirt is likely 100% cotton (check the tag), so it's even more prone to shrinkage. Wash it in cold water and hang dry to preserve the fit. For the Polo Shirt (a blend) and Tank Top (maybe cotton or cotton-poly), same rules apply: cold wash, low heat or air dry. Never use bleach - it'll eat through the fibers and ruin the graphics. A mild detergent is all you need.
Sizing and Fit
Nothing's worse than a hoodie that shrunk into a crop top. The Premium Hoodie runs true to size, but if you're between sizes, sizing up gives a roomier vibe. To keep that fit, don't crank the water temperature. Hot water relaxes cotton fibers and then they tighten during drying. If you need to shrink it slightly (maybe it's a bit loose), a warm wash followed by medium heat can do the trick - but do it intentionally, not accidentally. For tees, same story: cold wash, low dry. The Polo Shirt has a more tailored fit, so handle it with care to avoid distorting the collar. Lay it flat to dry to maintain shape.
How to Style It
Your Juan Guarnizo merch is street-ready. Layer the Premium Hoodie under a denim jacket or wear it solo with cargo pants. The Classic T-Shirt pairs with joggers or jeans. But styling isn't just about looks - it's about care too. Avoid hanging heavy hoodies by the collar (it'll stretch). Fold them and store on a shelf. For tees, fold or use slim hangers. Keep your merch out of direct sunlight when drying - UV rays fade colors fast. And please, don't iron directly on the print. If you must iron, turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting.
FAQ
Can I wash my Juan Guarnizo merch with other clothes? Yes, but turn pieces inside out and fasten any zippers. Avoid washing with rough fabrics like denim or items with metal embellishments that could snag the fabric or print.
Will the Premium Hoodie shrink? It can if you use hot water or high heat drying. Stick to cold water and low heat or air dry to minimize shrinkage. If you need slight shrinkage, use warm water and medium heat.
How do I remove stains without damaging the print? Treat stains as soon as possible. Use a small amount of mild detergent directly on the spot, gently rub with a soft brush or your fingers, then wash cold. Avoid bleach or stain removers with harsh chemicals.
Can I dry clean my Juan Guarnizo hoodie? It's not recommended. The chemicals used in dry cleaning can degrade the print and fabric over time. Stick to machine washing on gentle cycle.
How should I store my merch? Fold hoodies and tees to keep them from stretching. If hanging, use padded hangers for hoodies and standard hangers for tees. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
