Things I do to keep my clothes in good condition

イイ感じに服を保つ為にしている事

The two sweatshirts in the photo have been worn for 15 years.
As expected, the surface has faded due to sun exposure and washing, and the ribbing at the cuffs and hem has loosened.
However, overall they remain intact and represent the passage of time with a good balance.
They seem like they could fall apart, but they don't.This is the feeling.
The printed part at the hem is also cracking, yet remains.
The peeling due to natural long-term use is something that has been consciously created.

The neckline is wide, isn't it?
This XS size (160cm) from that time was positioned as a ladies' size, and it was made with a wider neckline from the original setting.
A few years later, it changed to a unisex setting, and the expansion into men's sizes will also begin.
Compared to the current standard sweatshirts, the rib length is shorter, the print design at the hem changes every time, and the rib width at the neck is also narrower.
This is a part that has undergone minor changes. I reflect on such things again.

The sweatshirts from Device use thicker threads, and they have undergone a washing process and are finished with full tumbler treatment, so there is no problem wearing them without worry and repeating washing.

On top of that, I have a few conscious practices to keep my favorite clothes looking nice for a long time.

① I roll up my sleeves moderately when wearing.
② When washing, I put them in a net ← this is quite effective.
③ When drying, I try to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible and hang them in the shade.
④ If it's not possible, I try to put them away as soon as possible.
⑤ When drying, I avoid hanging them in a state like the hanger in the photo. Wet knit products are prone to stretching, and the weight of the damp clothes can pull down and stretch the neckline. I hang them folded in half at the belly area on the rod.

The detergent is normal. I don't use fabric softener either.
I think that even if you don't go to the extent of thoroughly doing the above, just doing what you can will yield results, so please take it as a reference!
