Complete Guide Overview
So you snagged a Succession Premium Hoodie - good call. That 80% cotton, 20% polyester fleece is built to last, but even the toughest gear needs a little TLC. Whether you're layering it for a late-night rewatch or wearing it out to the coffee shop, this Succession merch care guide will keep your hoodie looking crisp and street-ready for years. Let's get into it.
How to Choose the Right Care Routine
Know Your Fabric
The Succession Premium Hoodie ($49.99) uses 320gsm fleece with a brushed interior - that plush feel isn't just for comfort; it's a signal that this hoodie means business. Cotton-poly blends like this (80/20) shrink less than pure cotton, but they can still fade or pill if you treat them poorly. Compared to the Succession Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) or the lightweight Succession Tank Top ($19.99), hoodies need a bit more respect because of their weight and fleece lining.
Washing: The Don'ts and Do's
Don't: Toss it in with your jeans, turn the water to hot, and hit "heavy duty." That's a one-way ticket to shrinkage and faded graphics.
Do: Turn your Succession Premium Hoodie inside out before washing. This protects the front print from friction. Use cold water on a gentle cycle. For detergents, skip the bleach and fabric softeners - they break down cotton fibers and dull prints over time. If you're washing other fan-merch like the Succession Polo Shirt (34.99), same rules apply.
Drying: Air Is Your Friend
Heat is the enemy of hoodie longevity. After washing, lay your hoodie flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Reshape it while damp to avoid weird stretching. If you must use a dryer, tumble dry on low and remove it while still slightly damp - then air dry the rest of the way. Pro tip: hang Succession's hoodie collection items, but never on a metal hanger that can stretch the neck.
Stain Removal: Act Fast
Got a coffee drip or pizza grease? Blot (don't rub) the stain with a damp cloth and a drop of mild detergent. For tougher stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply, let sit 15 minutes, then wash as usual. Avoid those spray-on stain removers with harsh chemicals - they can fade the fabric around the stain.
Storage: Fold, Don't Hang
Your hoodie's heavy fabric will stretch under its own weight if hung for months. Fold it and store in a drawer or on a shelf. If you need to hang it temporarily, use a wide, padded hanger to distribute weight.
Where to Buy Official Succession Merch
Only buy from sources you trust. Counterfeit merch often uses cheap dyes and thin cotton that falls apart after one wash. The official Succession store is the only place for real, long-lasting gear. Right now they've got the Premium Hoodie, the Classic T-Shirt, the Polo, and the Tank Top - all designed to survive real life. If you're looking to build a complete wardrobe, explore the full collection and see what catches your eye.
FAQ
Can I put my Succession hoodie in the dryer?
Yes, but only on low heat and remove it while slightly damp. Air drying is best to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fleece interior.
Will the print on my Succession Premium Hoodie crack?
Not if you wash inside out on cold and avoid high heat drying. The print is screen-printed and built to last with proper care.
How often should I wash my Succession merch?
Only when it's actually dirty. Frequent washing wears down fabric. Spot clean small stains and do a full wash every 4-5 wears.
Can I iron the hoodie?
Avoid ironing directly on the print. If you must, iron inside out on low heat or use a pressing cloth. Better yet, steam it.
How do I remove pilling from my hoodie?
Use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone. Gently shave the pills after washing and drying (before wearing). The brushed interior of the Premium Hoodie resists pilling, but it can happen with friction. - -
