[outlawzsm]

i just got a kaws x bape tee. and its too big and wanna shrink it but how would i do so without ruining the print (i thinks its like paint or something, doesn't feel like a screen print)

thanks.

Put it in the sauna for a good hour or two. hahaha j/k

Uuum shrink, not too sure, but wash, definitely take it to the dry cleaners because you don't want to ruin such expensive garments. And if available, bring your Bape/BBC clothes to a finer dry cleaning store; rather pay a little more than to have to fork out a few bills to get another hoodie or what not.

FLIP THE SHIRT INSIDE OUT then wash hot and dry hot

No no, but he doesn't want to ruin the prints though, keep in mind. That's going to be a tough one.

I'm not even joking b. I would rather save the risk of having the prints chip off or even the Swarovski stones fall off when it's tumbling in the washer.

Honestly, you've paid a hefty amount on these clothes; $100, $200, $300. I'm sure you and i didn't just drop coin down for nothing. So why not take the initiative and maintain them like $200, $300 clothes.

u take ur bapes out to ur backyard at night while its raining, and then hang it tied to a rope over a flame of fire for about 2 hours...

Do NOT put into the dryer

^why not? he said he wants it to shrink a bit... but yea u should do everything inside out (gets a bit more complicated with those reversibles :P ) so wash warm, and when its in the dryer start out with medium heat... the dudes at BWS said they already tend to shrink a bit when u first wash/dry them... and they said to not worry about the print as long as its inside out

hand wash. then hand dry.
or take it to a trusted dry cleaner
