Care Guide

Care Guide

Your SAGA merch is custom-made-to-order and built to last. To keep your gear looking its best, it's important to know what it's made of — because cotton and poly fabrics require different care.

⚠️ Fabric Matters — Read This First

100% Cotton Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry on no heat / air-dry setting only.
100% Poly & High-Poly Blends Hang dry only. Machine drying — even on low heat — causes poly fibers to pill and develop a soft, peachy, “worn-in” texture. Some love this look, but to preserve the original finish and print quality, always hang dry.
