Care Instructions
The longest-lasting garment is the one that's cared for.
We choose natural fibers because they breathe well, age beautifully, and become more comfortable with every adventure. Unlike synthetic fabrics, they develop character over time. A little fading, softening, and wear isn't a flaw—it's part of the story.
When possible, wash less, air out often, and repair rather than replace.

About Natural Plant Dyes
Some Alien Cowboy Club garments are colored using natural plant dyes. These dyes age differently than synthetic dyes, gradually developing a rich patina through sunlight, washing, and wear.
We like to say they're made to fade.
To preserve color for as long as possible:
-
Wash only when needed.
-
Wash in cold water.
-
Dry away from direct sunlight.
-
Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
The evolution of the color is part of each garment's journey.
