Hello all,

A couple of hoody related things:

1. Caring for your hoody
2. Spare hoodies

1.
So, after many trials and tests and conversations with the printer, this is how you should care for your hoodies:

The hoodies were printed with an ink which contained a chemical cure (!), this means that the ink will have stablised and become fairly wash-proof over the first 24 hours. However, just to make doubly sure that the print is robust, apply a bit of heat to the print. This can be tricky because too much heat will scorch the print and discolour it. So, I've been experimenting and come up with the following instructions:


Preheat your oven to 130 degrees centigrade
Fold your hoody carefully and place inside an old pillow case (to prevent oven gunk getting on it)
Put the pillow case on a clean baking tray - ideally the print is facing upwards and not touching the tray too much
Put the tray and hoody onto the middle shelf in the oven for 2.5 - 3 minutes. DO NOT LEAVE IT FOR ANY LONGER THAN THIS OR THE PRINT WILL BE SCORCHED.

Simples.

If you do ever need to wash your hoody, do a gentle cool wash (no higher than a 30 degree wash).

Sorry again for the faff.

I have the original hoodies which were sent and were the wrong size with a wrong size print. Although they are not as pretty as the hoodies we have now, they are still a good quality hoody and could do nicely as a bed hoody or something to give away to small children because they are in silly small sizes... I have the following available (please see size chart for details):

Women's
XS = 3
S = 2
M = 7
L = 5 (This was the size which fit those with a 32" chest!!!)

Men's
MM = 1 (This size fits a 40" chest)

If anyone would like a hoody, has a small child, or knows someone with a child who may want a TR hoody, then let me know and I can bring one into practice. I can't keep hold of them all as they are taking up space in my small flat. If no one wants them, I'll take them to clothes recycling...

That's it! See you tomorrow!
