Learn how to keep your Bad Friends merch looking fresh with this care guide covering washing, drying, and stain tips for tees, hoodies, and more.

Overview

Your Bad Friends merch has seen some things. Late-night podcast binges, chaotic live shows, maybe a food spill during a rewatch of the "Chinatown Market" episode.

This care guide is for anyone who wants their Bad Friends Classic T-Shirt to look just as good after the hundredth wear. No complicated laundry science, just practical tips to keep the chaos off your clothes.

The Classic T-Shirt: Handle with (Some) Care

The Bad Friends Classic T-Shirt is your go-to for everyday chaos. Made from 100% ring-spun cotton and pre-shrunk, it's already ahead of the game. But even pre-shrunk fabric needs love. Wash it in cold water, inside out, to protect the print. Skip the bleach - it's not Bobby Lee's laugh, it'll ruin the graphic. Tumble dry on low or, better yet, air dry. The relaxed unisex fit stays true if you follow this. For reference, check out Bad Friends's t-shirt collection for more options.

The Premium Hoodie: Don't Let It Get Too Cozy

Your Bad Friends Premium Hoodie (priced at $49.99) is built for durability, but even the best hoodie can get baggy. Wash in cold, inside out, and avoid fabric softener - it coats the fibers and messes with the softness. Zip it up before washing to prevent snags. Dry on low or hang. If you're sweating through a live show, toss it in the wash ASAP to keep odors at bay.

Polo & Tank Top: Quick Care

The Bad Friends Polo Shirt ($34.99) is a classier chaos option. To maintain its collar shape, always hang dry. The Bad Friends Tank Top ($19.99) is perfect for summer heat - wash on delicate and skip the dryer to keep it from stretching out.

General Tips for All Bad Friends Gear

  • Stain treatment: Act fast. Dab (don't rub) with cold water and a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, soak in cold water with a splash of vinegar before washing.
  • Drying: High heat is the enemy. It can shrink cotton (even pre-shrunk) and damage prints. Air drying is safest.
  • Storage: Fold tees and tank tops to avoid stretching the neckline. Hang hoodies and polos.
  • Special events: After a live show, turn your shirt inside out before bagging it to keep the print fresh on the ride home.
