手入れ Care

Garment Care

To care for a garment is to practice the same reverence we bring to the mended thing. A Kinshin piece is made to be worn in — not worn out.

"Gold Seam" Tee

Comfort Colors 1717 · Garment-dyed · 280 GSM

  • Wash cold, inside-out, on gentle cycle
  • Use mild detergent — no fabric softener sheets
  • Air dry preferred; low tumble if needed
  • First wash may release excess dye — this is normal for garment-dyed fabric
  • Iron inside-out on low heat

"Restored" Hoodie

Lane Seven LS14001 · 400 GSM heavyweight fleece

  • Wash cold, inside-out, on gentle cycle
  • No bleach
  • Line dry or low tumble — high heat damages cuffs and hem
  • If embroidered: do not apply direct heat to the stitched area

"Mended Vessel" Crewneck

Independent Trading SS3000 · 380 GSM enzyme-washed fleece

  • Wash cold, inside-out, on gentle cycle
  • No bleach
  • Line dry preferred — fleece pills with high heat
  • Low tumble only if needed
  • Do not iron the fleece surface

DTG Print Care

Applies to all printed pieces

  • Always wash inside-out
  • No bleach or hydrogen peroxide
  • Low heat or air dry
  • Iron inside-out on low — never directly on the print
  • Do not dry clean

The gold in our philosophy — and on your garment — is not literal metal. But the principle stands: what is precious gets treated with care.
