But like any high-quality tool, this one will last longer with TLC. Here&#x2019;s how to care for your Dovetail Workwear:</div><div data-block="true" data-editor="2jiao" data-offset-key="61m2d-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(27, 28, 29); font-family: Inter, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><ol><li style="font-family: Inter;">Flip your clothing inside out. Sweaty work means the inside of your workwear is gonna need more detergent than the outside. The inside of clothes is also more equipped to handle the wash.&#xA0; For overalls, fasten all hardware. We recommend buttoning the strap clasps to the top hip buttons and underneath the hip buttonholes, so the metal fasteners don&#x2019;t bang around in your machines and break (or keep you up all night).&#xA0; </li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Wash cool. High temps in the washing machine can cause fabrics to warp. Washing in cold water can help slow fading of colors and shrinking in fabrics. If you need to get out some super-stains, do a warm&#x2013;cool cycle. Due to the nature of indigo dye, dark blue denims may bleed. Wash separately, or with similar colors, in cold water.</li><li style="font-family: Inter;">Hang dry. Heat is hard on apparel. Tumble-drying clothes can lead to premature fabric degradation, shrinkage, broken hardware, and warped elastic. When you wash your Dovetail Workwear products, please avoid using the dryer if at all possible. If you must tumble-dry due to time constraints, remove when damp and line-dry the rest of the way.</li><li>Get Dirty and repeat!! &#x1F642;</li></ol></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="2jiao" data-offset-key="5p47d-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(27, 28, 29); font-family: Inter, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> </div>Other things to note:If you work with or around drywall, we have had people report that the dye on our indigo denim products can rub off within the first few weeks or months. The more you wash them, the less this is a problem, but please be careful in these situations as the indigo may transfer.Cold-water washing and avoiding the dryer will help preserve the durability and longevity of your garment.
