Answers about Caring For your C2C Clothing:


  • HOW DO I CARE FOR MY CARBON2COBALT CLOTHING? Each garment comes with instructions specific to its fabric, construction, and dyes. Please refer to your item’s inner tag for the most relevant information.

  • IS THE QUALITY OF CARBON2COBALT GOOD? Each of our unique designs feature the highest quality products made from the world’s finest materials. If you feel your item has faulty construction or subpar materials due to a manufacturing issue, we want to correct the problem. Please reach out to us at service@carbon2cobalt.com or call 805-687-7442.

  • ARE YOUR CLOTHES PRE-SHRUNK OR WILL THEY SHRINK AFTER WASHING? If you follow the care instructions on the garment, you should not experience any significant shrinkage. However, all dryers heat differently, and high temperatures can sometimes constrict fibers. We do not recommend drying your garments at high temperatures for extended periods.

    Important note: Our 100% cotton items are prewashed but not preshrunk. Expect some shrinkage after washing and drying garments with a 100% cotton content. We suggest washing in cold water and drying on the lowest setting to minimize shrinkage

  • WHAT CARE INSTRUCTION TIPS DO YOU ADVISE TO KEEP MY CARBON2COBALT CLOTHING LOOKING ITS BEST?
    • To ensure the longevity of your garment, we do not recommend putting any items in a dryer for extended periods of time. Dryers run at very high temperatures and can compromise natural fabrics.
    • Wash garments inside out to protect buttons and delicate fabrics.
    • Run a cycle in your washing machine after using bleach to ensure that the chemicals do not affect the next washing load with your clothing to avoid fading.
    • For all garment dyed or indigo pieces, wash alone or with like colors on a delicate cycle by itself for the first few times, as these are prone to bleeding.
    • Due to the dye used in garment dyed pieces there may be a faint odor, which is normal. Once the piece has been washed the dye smell will fade.
    • Please lay all sweaters and sweats flat to dry to prevent stretching the material or causing threads to pull.
    • It is only natural for a bit of pilling to occur on soft sweater materials. We recommend the use of a cashmere comb (it works well on more than cashmere) from time to time to keep your items looking their best.
    • For any pulls in material, do not cut the thread. A bobby pin can be used to pull the thread back through. If this doesn’t work, please take the item to a tailor for further repair.
