At Astylux, we don’t just make clothes; we engineer urban armor. When you hold an Astylux piece, the weight speaks for itself—whether it’s the substantial drape of our 220 GSM oversized tees or the heavy-duty warmth of our 330 GSM winter range.

Our garments are a complex fusion of 100% breathable French Terry, soft-brushed Fleece, and advanced printing tech like DTF, Puff, and Rubber hybrid prints. To ensure your "System Sovereign" or "Void Resolve" pieces maintain their silhouette and high-definition details for years, follow this specialized care manual.

1. The Print Protection Protocol (DTF, Puff & Rubber Hybrids)

Astylux designs often feature multi-textured prints, combining the sharp detail of DTF (Direct to Film) with the 3D depth of Puff and Rubber prints. These require "Low-Friction" care.

• Turn it Inside Out: This is non-negotiable. Turning the garment inside out creates a barrier against the washing machine drum, preventing your puff prints from losing their "pop" and your DTF graphics from scratching.

• Cold Wash Only: Heat is the enemy of print adhesives. To prevent the rubber and DTF elements from peeling or cracking, stick to a cold cycle (30°C).

• The "No-Stretch" Rule: Avoid aggressively wringing out the garment when wet. Stretching the fabric while the fibers are heavy with water can cause "micro-cracks" in high-density rubber prints.

2. Heavyweight Construction (330 GSM & 220 GSM)

Target: 330 GSM Hoodies/Sweatpants and 220 GSM Oversized Tees/Baggy Bottoms.

• The Soft-Brushed Interior: To keep the 330 GSM fleece lining plush and avoid "pilling," avoid fabric softeners. Softeners actually coat the natural cotton fibers, reducing breathability and flattening the soft-brushed texture.

• Ribbed Architecture: Our reinforced cuffs and hems are built with memory-retention ribbing. To prevent them from stretching out, never hang-dry heavyweight hoodies. The weight of the wet 330 GSM cotton will pull the shoulders and neck out of shape. Flat dry is the professional standard.

3. Specialized Washes & Sublimation

Target: Shadow Wash, Acid Wash, and All-Over Sublimated Designs.

• Shadow & Acid Wash: These boutique treatments give our gear a vintage, tech-distressed look. Wash these separately for the first few cycles to ensure the unique pigment tones don't transfer to lighter garments.

• Sublimation: These prints are embedded into the fibers and won't fade, but they still thrive in cold water to keep the base 100% cotton fabric from shrinking.

4. Tactical Elements (Leather & Fabric Patches)

Astylux often incorporates leather or embroidered patches to enhance the techwear aesthetic.

• Patch Care: Do not leave garments with leather patches soaking in water for extended periods. This can stiffen the leather.

• Steaming Over Ironing: NEVER touch an iron directly to a leather patch, rubber print, or puff graphic. The heat will melt the print instantly. Use a garment steamer at a distance to remove wrinkles while preserving the tactical details.
