AFTERCARE
In a game of fine margins, if you look after your kit, it might just give you the edge...
Just like warming-down after a game helps players to recover well and prepare for the next game, some thought needs to go into preparing your THE GAME OF TWO HALVES® kit for the next time you wear it too, as you'll no doubt want it to be in tip-top condition. To ensure you get the most of your kit and continue wearing it with pride, please be sure to look after your kit as well as you look after yourself - by following our after care guidance.
We use the latest direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technology to offer a wide variety of printable garments and design colour options. We use high-quality inks that won't fade for a long time if taken care of properly.
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid fading and cracking of the print, and shrinking the garment that can occur if you wash or dry it on a high setting.
PRINTED CLOTHING (t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, joggers, shorts)
Washing:
You can machine wash your kit, but use a cool wash on a gentle cycle with the same or similar colours, turn it inside-out and only use a mild detergent. Try to avoid using non-chlorine bleach and don't use fabric softeners. Lots to be aware of there, but all important to ensure your kit doesn't get damaged.
Drying:
To maintain the quality look of your kit, it's important that you don't dry it in a tumble drier - this really won't be good for the clothing, the print or the embroidery.
Ironing:
If you want to iron your kit, turn it inside-out and put the iron on a cool setting (please also avoid ironing the area where the print is on your kit).
Dry cleaning:
Please don't dry clean your kit, as this will likely case some damage. And we need to make sure you look the part next time you wear it.
HATS (beanies, caps)
If your hat starts to look a little bit grubby, you should use a damp cloth to wipe away the dirt. And if necessary, they can be hand-washed cold. Don’t use brushes. To help maintain the quality look of your kit, please don't machine wash, bleach, tumble-dry, iron or dry-clean it. Sorry about all the rules - feeling properly like a ref telling you what to do there!
BAGS (backpacks, duffle bags)
All-over print backpacks, fanny packs, and duffle bags need to be hand-washed without bleach. Don’t dry-clean or tumble-dry the bags. You can iron these bags with a low heat setting.
MUGS
Mugs are microwave safe, but should only be hand-washed. Sorry, that's a bit more effort to keep your mug in good condition, but worth it in the long run.
WATER BOTTLES
Please hand-wash only (dishwasher isn't recommended due to vacuum seal).
