A Guide to Properly Caring for Your Acid-Wash Denim Jacket

Step 1: Wash with love (but not too much)

When washing your acid-wash denim jacket, it's essential to find the perfect balance between clean and destroyed. Too much water and soap, and you'll be left with a sad, faded mess. Too little, and you'll be wearing a jacket that smells like a dumpster.

Step 2: Don't dry it in direct sunlight (or anywhere else)

Direct sunlight is like a cruel joke, only with more wrinkles. Hang your jacket in the shade to prevent those pesky UV rays from wreaking havoc on your precious acid-wash fabric.

Step 3: Iron with a hot ironing board and a strong will

You know what they say: 'you can't iron a piece of denim that's had a quarter-life crisis.' Don't be that person. Invest in a good ironing board and a few therapy sessions for your jacket.
