FABRIC CARE & WASHING! Band Shoppe's Fabric Care Recommendations: Many of our fabrics are made exclusively for Band Shoppe. We only offer fabrics that are produced to meet our exclusive stretch and quality standards. Band Shoppe takes tremendous pride in having the best fabrics in the industry. Yet, as a leader in marching and performance apparel, it is important for us to advise you of the tendencies of certain fabrics, as well as practices to avoid . Fragile Fabrics Need Extra Special Care: 1. Repeated wear and washing may cause the fabrics to fade or lose foil. 2. Alcohol in all aerosol products affects these fabrics. Please cover the garment before applying. 3. Deodorants and perspiration may cause the fabric to fade or lose foil. We recommend the use of pure crystal deodorant (does not contain Aluminum Chlorohydrate). Tests have shown this may reduce or eliminate color transference when light and dark fabric are combined under the arm (Individual results may vary). 4. Fabric with hologram or metallic foils will eventually begin to dull over time from repeated washings and use. Color Blocking with Fabrics Please note that combining a white or light color fabric with dark color fabrics may show color transference when laundered. This is a common industry problem, and can become obvious under certain conditions. In addition, we have found that when a white or light color garment is worn under a dark garment, some color may transfer onto the lighter garment.
We have found that perspiration and deodorant often contribute to color bleeding, especially when the two colors meet under the arms. Even when following proper washing instructions, you may notice some color transference.
Also note, damp garments that are left in garment or travel bags may show color transference.
Band Shoppe may refuse returns on orders due to color transference. To minimize this problem, it is important that you have carefully selected your fabric color combinations and follow the washing instructions listed below.
If you chose to combine sensitive fabrics and colors, it is at your own risk. Band Shoppe may refuse returns on special orders using these combinations.
Washing and Care Instructions Garment(s) must be washed separately. Turn garments inside out. Use a mild liquid detergent. Gently hand wash in a large volume of cold water. Rinse immediately, DO NOT allow garment to soak. Pat dry with a clean towel and use a thick plastic hanger to air dry.
