Learn the best way to wash and dry your Ami De Coeur cotton hoodie to keep the embroidery crisp and the fabric soft, with step-by-step care instructions.
Quick answer
Wash your Ami Paris cotton hoodie inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat to protect the Ami De Coeur embroidery and prevent shrinkage.
Why cotton needs special care
Cotton is durable but prone to shrinking and losing shape if exposed to high heat. The Ami De Coeur embossed and quilted chest design is a key detail, so protecting the fabric surface matters.
Machine drying on high heat can also distort the raglan sleeves and boxy fit that give this hoodie its signature silhouette. Air drying is the safest way to preserve the original cut.
What about the embroidery?
The tonal Ami embroidery under the back collar is delicate. Turning the hoodie inside out before washing keeps the embroidery from rubbing against other garments and reduces wear on the threads.
Skip fabric softeners—they can coat the cotton fibers and make the embroidery look dull over time. A mild detergent is enough for a fresh clean.
Step-by-step care routine
- Turn the hoodie inside out: Before washing, turn the hoodie inside out. This protects the embossed Ami De Coeur and the tonal back-collar embroidery from friction. Check that the hoodie is fully reversed, including the sleeves.
- Use cold water and a gentle cycle: Wash in cold water (below 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle or delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. If hand washing, use a small amount of detergent and rinse thoroughly.
- Air dry flat, not in the dryer: Lay the hoodie flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Reshape it gently to its original dimensions. Do not tumble dry or hang by the shoulders, which can stretch the fabric. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading.
Product details to keep in mind
- Sweatshirt Noir en coton Ami De Coeur Embossé: This unisex hoodie has a boxy fit, raglan sleeves, and an embossed and quilted Ami De Coeur on the chest. The boxy cut and raglan sleeves mean you should avoid high-heat drying, which can shrink the fabric and distort the relaxed silhouette.
